“CARSTAR takes great pride in the quality services we offer our customers,” said Bill Garoutte, CARSTAR senior marketing executive. “To provide the best service, we chose to work with suppliers that share our concern for customers. Airgas provides the industry’s most complete line of quality gases, welding and safety products. They have a strong national presence and are known for their personal, local service.”
“The CARSTAR and Airgas agreement represents a good opportunity for both companies,” said Graham Pratt, vice president for the Airgas retail market segment. “CARSTAR gets the savings and convenience of using one source for core products their auto body repair facilities use every day. And Airgas gets to demonstrate our supply chain expertise and the local service we’re known for, nationwide.”
