Red Ball Oxigen

Since 1930, Red Ball Oxygen has supplied the SBC and surrounding areas with a stellar selection of industrial, medical, and specialty gases. They offer various industrial supplies, safety supplies, construction site services, welding equipment, and technical services to several industries nationally and internationally.

Over the years, they’ve expanded to 21 locations, four-cylinder fill plants, and two specialty gas labs with 250 employees across four states. They strive to offer each customer the perfect order on time and with accurate delivery every time.

In 1969, Craig Kennedy bought Red Ball Oxygen and passed the company down to his sons, Larry and Gary Kennedy, in 1987. Today, Larry and Gary’s sons have begun the company’s 3rd generation of family ownership. Alex and Quinn Kennedy, 39 and 29, respectively, grew up in the Red Ball business.

Alex began running the Shreveport location in 2008, and Quinn began working there in 2013. They’ve both worked in multiple capacities with Red Ball since their beginnings. In 2015, Alex took over his father’s, Gary, shares of the company and became CEO of Red Ball Oxygen. This year, Quinn, Business Development Manager for Red Ball, took over his father’s, Larry, shares, making the cousins owners of the family business.
