My name's Brandon Jones and I'm the President of Jones Welding and Industrial Supply.  We are currently the largest independently owned family operated welding and industrial supply distributorship in the state of Georgia.  We currently cover all of the Southwest Georgia, East Alabama, North Florida with nine locations.  Warner Robins, Columbus, Cordele, Americus, Albany, Valdosta, Thomasville, Bainbridge, and Tallahassee, Florida.  We sell anything and everything that has to do with welding or industrial supplies, safety supplies.  We sell compressed gasses and cylinders or liquid gasses in bulk systems.  We do a cryogenic installations, torch or regulator repair, gas apparatus repair.  We also do welding machine repair.

We've been in business since 1976 and we have a pretty good market penetration.  We pride ourselves on fast, friendly service, competitively priced products, and we have a quality staff that's able and ready to assist any and everyone that should have a need for our products.

What we've seen over the last I guess starting at the end of 2010 we've seen the market pick up a little bit.  Manufacturing in our area, which some of our markets are more driven by manufacturing than other parts of our markets.  Some of our markets are more driven by agriculture and the trickle down from agriculture.  We've seen manufacturing and the sectors of manufacturing in our distribution area pick up fairly significantly.  I'd say 2011 was a good year, 2012 looks to be a better year; you never know.  With it being an election year sometimes that does have an effect on manufacturing and the economy, but agriculture seems to be steady and most of our markets that are more agricultural driven.
