CO2 Masters

What CO2 Masters does

CO2 Masters is a privately held Georgia-based LLC that provides nationwide rental, delivery, and logistics services for industrial and beverage gases — specifically CO₂, helium, nitrogen, propane, and dry ice — across 48 U.S. states (excluding Alaska and Hawaii), with enhanced local service in the Tampa Bay and Atlanta metros. The company operates as a gas logistics coordinator rather than a primary gas producer, leveraging a distributed network of gas suppliers and delivery drivers to fulfill orders, while acting as a single point of contact for scheduling, delivery, billing, cylinder pickup, refilling, and returns. Its product surface includes core gas delivery services, a cylinder rental program with three pricing tiers (event, commercial subscription, long-term industrial), and supporting equipment such as gas regulators and CO₂ safety monitors.

The company's go-to-market is event-driven and segmented by vertical, anchored by high-visibility concert tours and festivals (Taylor Swift, Paul McCartney, Ariana Grande, BLACKPINK, Foo Fighters, Coachella, Super Bowl LI Halftime Show, 2018 MTV VMAs) where it supplies gas for theatrical special effects including fog, cryo jets, confetti cannons, and pyrotechnics. Beyond entertainment, CO2 Masters serves beverage and restaurant customers (Subway franchise locations, breweries using CO₂ for carbonation and draft systems), industrial and manufacturing clients (cryotherapy facilities, cannabis extraction and processing), and other specialty applications. Distribution is direct-to-customer via phone, email, the company website, and a web-based customer portal (app.co2masters.com) with a PWA-style mobile experience; no resellers or marketplace channels are used.

Commercially, the company operates on quote-based flat-rate pricing that bundles rental charges, hazmat fees, delivery fees, and fuel surcharges into a single upfront bill, with billing flexibility for festivals (one master bill or itemized per artist). Scale markers indicate 100+ monthly events delivered and 1M+ pounds of CO₂ delivered nationwide, supported by an 11-50 person organization that includes specialized roles for cryo sales, logistics coordination, accounting, and local Tampa Bay deliveries. The company appears to be bootstrapped and independently owned, with no disclosed venture or private equity funding.

Revenue model

1. CO₂, Helium, Nitrogen & Propane Cylinder Rentals: The company rents industrial gas cylinders to events, venues, commercial clients, and industrial users. Customers rent cylinders and pay a rental charge included in the flat-rate price. Delivery, pickup, and refilling are handled by CO2 Masters. Rental periods include short-term event rentals, ongoing commercial service, and long-term industrial applications.
2. Gas Sales: Sale of gases including CO₂, helium, nitrogen, propane, and dry ice. Pricing fluctuates similar to gasoline prices and varies by location, gas type, and volume. All sales are final as cylinders must be purged and cleaned upon return.
3. Delivery & Logistics Services: The company handles logistics including delivery, pickup, installation, and refilling of gas cylinders. Standard delivery is typically within a couple of business days; same-day/rush delivery is available in the Tampa Bay local market for an additional cost.

Others

• Cryoport: Specialty logistics provider for temperature-sensitive and cryogenic life-sciences shipments. Operates in adjacent cold-chain infrastructure rather than competing directly in industrial gas delivery, but shares the cryo logistics theme relevant to CO2 Masters' cryotherapy and industrial customers.

Broad incumbents

• Matheson Tri-Gas: Major U.S. industrial and specialty gas distributor subsidiary of Nippon Sanso Holdings. Offers cylinder gases, delivery, and bulk supply comparable to CO2 Masters' product mix, but as part of a large diversified gas business.
• Messer Americas: The Americas business of global industrial gas producer Messer Group, operating packaged gas distribution across the U.S. after acquiring the Linde/Praxair packaged gases business in 2019. Comparable product portfolio to CO2 Masters at a much larger scale.
• Air Products and Chemicals: Global industrial gas manufacturer and distributor with significant U.S. merchant cylinder and bulk gas operations serving food/beverage, entertainment, and industrial customers. Competes with CO2 Masters' product set but at vastly larger scale and with owned production.
• Linde: Global industrial gas leader (formed via merger with Praxair) operating the largest U.S. packaged gas distribution network. Overlaps with CO2 Masters across nearly every gas type but as part of a much broader industrial gases portfolio rather than an events/commercial specialist.
• Air Water Inc. Japanese-headquartered global industrial gas company (parent of Matheson Tri-Gas's shareholder group) with U.S. packaged gas and helium sourcing operations. Relevant as a global industrial gas competitor with overlap to CO2 Masters' gas portfolio and customer base.

Regional players

• Rocky Mountain Air Solutions: Regional industrial and specialty gas distributor serving the Western U.S. with cylinder gases (CO2, nitrogen, oxygen, argon), dry ice, and related equipment. Comparable business model but operating in a different regional footprint than CO2 Masters' Eastern/Southeastern concentration.

Direct peers

• General Air Service & Supply: Independent industrial and specialty gas distributor with cylinder delivery and rental services for CO2, nitrogen, oxygen, and argon across multiple U.S. regions. Comparable mid-market gas distribution business serving commercial and industrial customers.
• nexAir: Regional industrial and specialty gas distributor serving the Southeast U.S. with cylinder delivery, gas rental, and applications support across welding, beverage, medical, and industrial customers. Closely comparable mid-sized gas distribution model to CO2 Masters.
• Airgas: The largest U.S. distributor of industrial, medical, and specialty gases (now an Air Liquide subsidiary). Operates the broadest U.S. cylinder gas delivery and rental network across CO2, helium, nitrogen, argon, and propane — directly overlapping CO2 Masters' core product lines and customer-facing delivery model.
