In the Press Release announcing the commissioning, Governor Andy Beshear stated, ““Kentucky companies are continuously reinvesting in our communities and our workforce,” said Gov. Beshear. “Our historic economic momentum wouldn’t be possible without companies like American Welding & Gas buying into Kentucky and what we have to offer. I am happy to welcome this exciting next step for AWG and am looking forward to its continued success here in Georgetown.”
AWG’s CEO Jason Krieger, states, “We are proud of the team that built this facility. We are especially thankful for the assistance from Governor Beshear, Judge/Executive Covington, Mayor Jenkins, the Commonwealth of Kentucky’s Cabinet for Economic Development, our general contractor, Gray Ohio Valley, and our gas equipment manufacturer, Cryogenic Technology Resources (“CTR”).
