Company History...

Mr. Woodrow W. Scott and Mr. Robert M. Gross established Scott-Gross Company January 1st, 1949.  The company was originally named The Bourbon Implement and Welding Supply Company and was located at the corner of Fourth and Pleasant Streets in Paris, KY.  The business phone number was 1555!

As the authorized dealer for "John Deere farm equipment for Bourbon County" the company sold John Deere tractors "and all the other famous John Deere equipment" and offered a "complete John Deere parts department and repair service".  Additionally the company sold "welding equipment and supplies for both electric and acetylene" and the featured gases sold at the time were oxygen and acetylene.

Many changes have taken place during the past fifty-seven years.  We stopped selling farm equipment and tractors and developed a specialization for selling gases and welding supplies.  We moved our primary location from Paris to Lexington, Ky and our phone number changed from four digits to seven.  However, through the years and many changes one thing has always remained the same... a commitment to "total customer satisfaction".

The company also has a Specialty Gas Laboratory capable of creating an almost infinite number of custom gas mixtures.  Bulk and cryogenic gas service is supplied from Scott-Gross Company’s bulk product distribution facility in Winchester, KY, which also hosts a CO2 rail facility.

Thoroughbred Industrial Cylinder Exchange, LLC is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Scott-Gross Company. The innovative "Thoroughbred Program"  is a turnkey gas exchange and purchase system that is available at leading retailers nationwide.  Gases available include oxygen, acetylene, argon/CO2, CO2, argon, helium and propane. 

Scott-Gross Company... a growing company committed to providing excellent customer service since 1949.
