Petroleum News

As reported by Fabricator.com Nov. 20, Airgas, an Air Liquide company, has been awarded Gold Level recognition on the 2025 Military Friendly Employers list by VIQTORY for the third consecutive year, following three years of the Silver Level designation. Military Friendly identifies organizations with a comprehensive commitment to serving the military and veteran community with meaningful outcomes and impact.

Airgas, a supplier of industrial, medical and specialty gases, continues its 42-year history of supporting veterans and military families, actively recruiting associates with military experience and working to incorporate policies and provide tools that support associates currently in the service. Such efforts include helping transitioning veterans identify opportunities for career growth during their postmilitary career, providing mentorship and offering access to training to cultivate new skills.

To earn the designation, Airgas was evaluated using both public data sources and responses from a proprietary survey. Final ratings were determined by combining Airgas' survey score with an assessment of the company's ability to meet thresholds for recruitment, new hire retention, employee turnover, and promotion and advancement of veterans and military employees.
