What Taylor-Wharton does
Taylor-Wharton (founded 1751; operating under the legal entity Taylor-Wharton America Inc.) designs and manufactures cryogenic storage, transportation, and regasification equipment for liquefied industrial gases including nitrogen, oxygen, argon, CO2, LNG, and liquid hydrogen. The company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Air Water America, itself part of Japanese industrial-gas conglomerate Air Water Inc., and operates from Baytown, Texas with 251–500 employees. Its core technology centers on vacuum-insulated cryogenic vessels engineered to contain fluids at ultra-low temperatures with minimal heat ingress and boil-off.
The product portfolio spans the full cold-chain: bulk storage vessels (VTM Series), LNG bulk tanks, vacuum-jacketed CO2 tanks, microbulk systems (MB450), DOT-4L liquid cylinders in low/medium/high-pressure configurations, ISO containers for intermodal transport, vaporization systems (CF ambient, S4A high-pressure, pressure-building, steam-heated, and aluminum fan-forced), and vacuum-insulated piping. A differentiated offering is the Zero-Loss Liquid Hydrogen Storage System — a 15,000-gallon cryogenic tank integrated with GenH2's patented heat-lift technology, designed to address boil-off losses exceeding 40% in hydrogen fuel-cell transit operations. Hydrogen infrastructure products include mobile and skid-mounted refuelers, liquid hydrogen trailers, and LNG fuel tanks and fueling stations.
Taylor-Wharton monetizes through custom enterprise hardware sales: bespoke quotation-based pricing tied to capacity, specifications, and application requirements, sold via direct field sales to industrial gas distributors, healthcare and life-sciences providers, energy companies, transit agencies, and municipalities. Multi-year contracts are typical given equipment life cycles and regulatory qualifications (e.g., DOT-4L, ISO). In April 2026, parent Air Water America announced consolidation of Taylor-Wharton with sibling TOMCO Systems under a unified organization — TOMCO's Loganville, Georgia facility will become the consolidated manufacturing hub, Taylor-Wharton's IP has been transferred to TOMCO, and the Baytown operations will wind down in early 2026. The Taylor-Wharton brand will continue in the market with all warranties honored.
