Tech Air, a Danbury, CT-based distributor of industrial, medical and specialty gases and related welding supplies, has acquired Esquire Gas Products Co., Enfield, CT.

Myles Dempsey, Jr., CEO of Tech Air, said, “This transaction signifies our continued strategy of growth through selective acquisitions of key regional distributors. Esquire’s singular focus on liquid carbon dioxide and dry ice products is a perfect complement to Tech Air’s existing business model.

"With the addition of Esquire, Tech Air will be even better positioned to serve customers in growing markets such as food & beverage, bio-pharmaceuticals and health care,” he said.

Esquire serves Connecticut, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Vermont, Rhode Island and the New York metro area.
