Food and Beverage Gases in Alabama

Quality gases preserve food, carbonate drinks and fuel food trucks, so they are essential solutions for manufacturers, breweries, hotels and other food service businesses.

At Atlas Welding Supply Company, we’ve been working with local companies since 1944, and we know what local food and beverage companies need. Atlas Welding Supply, with locations in Tuscaloosa and Birmingham and a partnership with Meritus Gas Partners, offers national resources and responsive local service.

Our Food, Beverage and Packaging Gases in AL

With partnerships and a strong local presence, Atlas Welding offers a variety of gases.

Carbon dioxide (CO2) is the most commonly used gas in the food and beverage industry. It produces carbonated drinks, including beer, soda and kombucha. It is also used to keep food fresh. Manufacturers add CO2 to modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) to preserve packaged foods while retaining their texture and appearance. 

Atlas Welding can provide your business with food-grade and beverage-grade CO2 for all your uses. We can also supply dry ice, a solid form of carbon dioxide. Businesses rely on dry ice for preservation, sanitation, ice cream production and culinary special effects. 

At our Tuscaloosa and Birmingham locations, we offer food-grade and beverage-grade CO2 in cylinders and dewars, as well as third-party bulk and microbulk drop-ship systems. 

Food and beverage businesses often use both CO2 and nitrogen because nitrogen performs many of the same functions, such as preserving and freezing food. Food manufacturers use bulk or delivered liquid nitrogen to preserve large batches of food. 

Some breweries and restaurants use nitrogen to create foamy beverages, such as nitro coffees and beers. Atlas Welding supplies nitrogen for every application, with tube trailers providing continuous delivery. We can also provide nitrogen in cylinders for specialty uses.

Pop-up dining events, caterers, hotels hosting outdoor events and other food and hospitality businesses sometimes need propane to power mobile kitchens. Hospitality businesses also need helium for special-occasion balloons and other gases to support guest experiences. 

Atlas Welding delivers propane and other hospitality gases in cylinders and other delivery systems for all your needs.

Whether you’re a food manufacturer experimenting with innovative packaging or a chef preparing a menu with tantalizing visual effects, Atlas Welding can make recommendations on gas blends. We can even work with our partners to create custom gas blends for select specialty uses for food packaging manufacturers. Let us know what you need, and our team will work to find solutions. 

Our Locations

Both our locations are full-service fill plants offering food-grade and beverage-grade carbon dioxide for carbonation, preservation and refrigeration. Our Birmingham location is proud to serve Hoover, Trussville, Alabaster, Childersburg and surrounding areas. The Atlas Welding team in Tuscaloosa delivers beverage nitrogen and other gases to Northport, Cottondale, Greensboro and nearby communities. 

In either case, you can stop by our locations to speak with a knowledgeable team. Our strong local presence means we understand and support local food and beverage businesses. We respond quickly when systems at restaurants or breweries break down, because we know downtime is catastrophic in this sector. Through our partnerships, we’re also able to quickly secure solutions and resources that many local providers cannot.
