In 1930, Joseph W. Albiston founded Maine Oxy in Auburn, Maine. Under the name Maine Gas Service, the company provided sales and service to home propane customers. In 1935 Maine Oxy was incorporated as Maine Oxy-Acetylene Supply Company and began providing welding supplies and industrial gases for customers in Auburn and Lewiston, Maine and surrounding communities. Maine Oxy has expanded to a company with multiple sales and manufacturing locations and currently operates from at least eight locations in Maine, Massachusetts and New Hampshire. Now, Maine Oxy is a leader in welding, industrial gases and specialty gases.
