DAVENPORT, IOWA (April 1, 2023) – S.J. Smith has joined IWDC as of April 1. IWDC is a cooperative of independent welding distributors across the country.

The IWDC is a cooperative, formed in 1994, which leverages the strengths of its independent welding distributor members across North America. IWDC member companies collectively represent over $3.2B in sales, serving a wide range of industries. 

The common denominator is that these industries look to them for industrial, specialty, and medical gases as well as related equipment, welding hardgoods, and consumables. End-use customers served by IWDC members benefit from having the unparalleled expertise of a local member distributor who has access to national-scale purchasing and marketing programs.

“We’re excited to join IWDC, which will allow us to expand offerings and provide even better solutions to our customers,” says Richelle Smith-Brecht, S.J. Smith President and CEO.
