The Gas Guy here. Welcome to our new website and my new blog. I’ll be here every month giving you news and information as I see it. Like the insurance commercials say, I know a thing or two because I’ve seen a thing or two—the only thing here longer than me is the company itself. Minneapolis Oxygen has been around since 1946 offering gas supply and service that you can rely on.
Over the years, we’ve grown, expanded capabilities, and have gotten to partner with a lot of great customers in a variety of industries. Since we launched our last website, much has changed. We decided it was time to give our site a new look—contextually, visually and functionally. We’re excited to share how far we’ve come over the years.
Two Sites Are One Site
The new Minneapolis Oxygen website has two sections: informational and an e-store. Whether you came to our site to learn about medical gases or shop for a new welding helmet or to read this massively enjoyable blog, you’ll find it all effortlessly.
Informational Section
Organized to easily to find what you need, this section is where you can find information on:

One More Thing
Did you happen to notice our logo? Yes, we’ve updated that too. We wanted to hold onto the spirit of the original logo, yet suggest the cutting-edge capabilities that Minneapolis Oxygen offers. We’ll always stay rooted in our heritage with personalized service, while embracing new technologies that help our customers grow and prosper.
Take a look around the site and let us know how we did. We’d love to hear from you!
