For Your Consideration.
Presented by HUB Team Haugen, HUB International Northwest.
The Company
Eugene Welders, doing business as Industrial Source, is Oregon's largest independent and longest-running gas and welding supplier. Continuously local, family-led, and operating since 1945.
Industrial Source runs eight Oregon locations and three company-owned fill plants, serving Manufacturing, Construction, Healthcare, Aerospace, Energy, and Government clients. Safety, quality, and accountability are built into every layer of the business.
Operations are anchored by an in-house ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accredited specialty gas laboratory, a DOT-registered hydrostatic cylinder testing facility, and an Advanced Cylinder Management program that tracks every cylinder end-to-end. No competing independent supplier in Oregon matches the credential stack.
Ten percent of net income is donated annually to more than thirty Oregon nonprofits. The same operational discipline that defines the company's risk profile shows up in eight decades of community investment: long-horizon thinking, clear accountability, and stable ownership.

Carriers price compressed gas distributors on fire and explosion exposure and products liability. Eighty years of compressed gas operations gave Industrial Source the runway to build proprietary infrastructure around exactly those risks. ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accredited lab, in-house DOT hydrostatic cylinder testing, and three company-owned fill plants. Underwriting evidence no competing broker is presenting.
Acetylene, oxygen, propane, and hydrogen are stored per OSHA 1910.253 and NFPA 55 at every facility. Compliance documentation is reviewable on site.
All product is filled in-house under automated safety systems. No third-party fills enter the supply chain. Quality control sits with Industrial Source from cylinder receipt through delivery.
Industrial Source operates the only independent welding-supply hydrostatic test facility in Oregon. Cylinder requalification stays in-house, fully DOT-compliant, with logs available on request.
Every cylinder is barcoded, scanned, and tracked end-to-end across the supply chain. ACM gives both Industrial Source and any reviewing carrier full visibility into asset location, age, and last-test status.
Purity is verified before every delivery against the highest internationally recognized laboratory standard. Very few independent operators hold this credential. Industrial Source is the only one in Oregon's welding-supply segment.
Full QC chain of custody is maintained on all medical and food grade product. Documentation supports both the products liability narrative and any direct carrier inquiry into the medical gas line.
Loss Controls
For workers' compensation and general liability carriers, documented safety culture means lower frequency and lower severity. Eighty years of continuous operations is its own form of audit: programs that survive that long are programs that work. The HUB Risk Services annual audit confirms it on paper.
Welding processes, gas handling, and PPE programs run on a recurring cycle across all eight Oregon locations. Refreshed, not one-and-done.
All cutting and welding activity at company facilities requires a documented permit before work begins, per OSHA 1910.252.
Sprinklers documented on schedule at all locations, with inspection records available for review.
Active monitoring systems at fill plant locations, integrated with safety response protocols.
Documented response protocols cover every reportable event, with near-miss data feeding training.
Program actively monitored, not static. Findings tracked to closure and included with the package.
Fleet and Auto
Auto is the leading distribution exposure for any compressed gas distributor. After eighty years of Oregon delivery operations, the fleet program is structural, not new. CDL and hazmat compliance, an Oregon I-5 corridor radius, and an in-house bulk delivery system substantially reduce both perceived and actual auto and cargo risk.
A dedicated fleet of bulk tankers and delivery vehicles operates from every Oregon location. Composition and rotation schedule are documented in the fleet summary.
Every driver clears an annual motor vehicle record check and active CDL verification. Records are maintained centrally and reviewable on request.
All drivers transporting compressed and cryogenic gas hold current hazmat endorsements. No exceptions, no expired-credential exposure.
The operating footprint sits inside the Oregon I-5 corridor. That structurally reduces long-haul exposure and the overnight driver fatigue risk that drives the worst auto loss profiles in this class.
Inspection protocols are documented and audited per FMCSA 396.11 and 396.13. The paper trail supports both regulatory compliance and any carrier-side fleet review.
The bulk and microbulk delivery system is company-owned. Industrial Source handles installation, maintenance, and monitoring directly, keeping the operational risk inside the business rather than outsourced to a third-party carrier.
Compliance
Carriers writing products liability for medical gas suppliers look for these credentials specifically. ISO/IEC 17025 is the gold standard. Very few independent operators hold it. The certification stack below is what separates Industrial Source from any peer presentation.
Accredited specialty gas laboratory. Only independent welding supply in Oregon with this credential.
National standard for specialty gas quality.
Highest purity tier with full chain of custody.
Registered and compliant testing facility.
Compressed gas storage compliance at all 8 facilities.
Cryogenic and specialty gas operations.
The Stability Story
Carriers read community investment as financial health and ownership stability. A company donating ten percent of net income annually is profitable. Ownership with eighty years of community investment carries low moral hazard. Underwriters weight that signal heavily.
Continuous since the company's founding in 1945. Tracked publicly. Same family ownership across three generations.
Annual giving to Relief Nursery, Habitat for Humanity, Lane Community College, the University of Oregon, and more than thirty additional Oregon nonprofits.
Employees are paid for volunteer time in the community. A formal program, not a quarterly press release. Investment in culture beyond compliance.
The same family-led ownership DNA since 1945. No private equity recapitalization, no out-of-state holding company. Decisions still made in Eugene.
Eugene Education Association, regional chamber, ongoing civic relationships. Visible community presence at the leadership level.
The same operational discipline that defines the risk profile shows up in eight decades of community investment. Long-horizon thinking is the through-line.
Industrial Source Leadership
Risk management at Industrial Source is structured, not ad hoc. Named personnel carry day-to-day accountability for the systems described in the preceding sections.
Strategic direction and 80-year ownership continuity.
Day-to-day safety protocols and multi-site compliance.
ISO accreditation owner and quality control authority.
DOT and FMCSA compliance lead.
OSHA oversight, incident tracking, training programs.
Factory-trained technicians, repair and rental oversight.
