Meritus Gas Partners announced that its subsidiary, Meritus Texas, acquired the assets of Greens Welding Supply, effective Feb. 28. Meritus Gas Partners is a portfolio company of  NY-based AEA Investors Small Business Private Equity.

Founded in 2000 by Aaron Green, Greens Welding Supply is an independent distributor of industrial gases, welding equipment and safety supplies serving customers throughout the southwest DFW Metroplex. The Granbury, TX-based operation strengthens Meritus Texas’ footprint in the North Texas market.

The Meritus Texas platform company is comprised of five independent distributors of gases and welding supplies, centered in the Dallas-Fort Worth and Houston areas, and operates 17 branches.

“We are pleased to welcome the employees and customers of Greens Welding Supply to the Meritus family,” said Rodney Wray, President of Meritus Texas. “Greens’ location gives us our ninth DFW location and improves our reach in this important market. The acquisition supports Meritus Texas’ continued growth strategy and commitment to delivering dependable service, expanded product availability, and local expertise to customers across Texas.”

This is Meritus’ first acquisition in 2026. Its most recent additions were of Cameron Welding Supply (Stanton, CA) and Buckeye Welding Supply (Greeley, CO), both announced in August 2025.
