What coastal carbonic does

Coastal Carbonic is a Southern California beverage gas company founded in 1995 and operating as the specialized Beverage Division of Cameron Welding Supply. The company sells and services permanently installed bulk CO2 systems under three registered product families — Carbo-Mite (220), Carbo-Mizer (300 and 550), and Carbo-Max (750 and 1000) — that replace high-pressure cylinders for restaurants, bars, and breweries, alongside on-site nitrogen generators with built-in blenders for draft beer applications, Analox AX60 CO2 safety monitors for hospitality venues, helium cylinders for balloon/decorative use, and supporting equipment such as vaporizers and beer gas mixes. Core technology centers on low-pressure bulk CO2 storage and delivery, on-site nitrogen generation, and gas-leak detection sensors, with claimed cost reductions of up to 30% versus cylinder-based supply and elimination of cylinder run-outs during peak service.

The company generates revenue through a mix of one-time hardware sales (installed bulk CO2 systems, nitrogen generators, CO2 monitors, helium cylinders) and recurring CO2 and nitrogen gas supply tied to those installed systems. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, and the go-to-market motion is sales-led: direct outreach via phone, email, and on-site consultation supported by four branch locations (Fontana HQ, Stanton, Murrieta, Long Beach) and a partner e-commerce storefront at cameronwelding.com. Coastal Carbonic serves thousands of restaurants, bars, pubs, and hospitality venues across five Southern California counties (Los Angeles, Orange, San Bernardino, Riverside, San Diego), with Elizabeth (Betsy) Perry serving as CEO. The company has 11-50 employees, is privately held, and discloses no external funding rounds.

Direct peers

• Matheson Tri-Gas: Industrial gas distributor supplying CO2, nitrogen, helium, and bulk gas systems to restaurants, beverage producers, and welding customers across the U.S. Closely comparable business model to Coastal Carbonic — bulk-gas distribution with recurring supply revenue — though at broader regional footprint.
• nexAir: Regional industrial gas and welding supply distributor in the Southeastern U.S. with beverage gas offerings including bulk CO2 systems and nitrogen generation. Direct comparable in business model (regional gas distributor with bulk CO2/nitrogen for restaurants) but serving a different geography.
• Norco: Western U.S. industrial gas and welding supply company with multiple branch locations, supplying CO2, nitrogen, and beverage gases to restaurants and hospitality. Highly comparable in product mix and multi-branch service model, partially overlapping in geography.
• General Air Service & Supply: Long-standing regional industrial gas and welding supply distributor with bulk CO2 and beverage gas offerings. Comparable in being a regional, multi-branch distributor focused on beverage/welding customers with recurring gas-supply revenue.

Broad incumbents

• Air Products: Global industrial gas major supplying CO2, nitrogen, helium, and bulk gas systems across food/beverage, healthcare, and manufacturing. Comparable because it competes for the same restaurant/beverage customer wallet but at vastly broader scale and geographic reach.
• Air Liquide: Global industrial gas company with a dedicated food/beverage gas business supplying CO2, nitrogen, and bulk systems to restaurants, breweries, and beverage producers. Comparable in core offerings (bulk CO2, nitrogen, beverage blends) but at global scale.
• Linde plc: World's largest industrial gas company offering CO2, nitrogen, bulk delivery systems, and beverage-industry solutions (formerly Praxair, whose MSDS document Coastal Carbonic links on its website). Directly overlaps with Coastal Carbonic's core product line as a national-scale incumbent.

Emerging players

• Atlas Copco: Global manufacturer of compressors, nitrogen generators, and on-site gas generation equipment. Comparable because Coastal Carbonic's nitrogen generator product competes with Atlas Copco's NGP/NGM nitrogen generator lines sold into restaurants, breweries, and beverage customers.
• Parker Hannifin (domnick hunter): Manufacturer of on-site nitrogen generators and gas filtration equipment used in food, beverage, and draft beer applications through its domnick hunter brand. Comparable in competing for the same on-site nitrogen generation customer use case.

Others

• Analox Sensor Technology: UK-based manufacturer of gas sensing and safety monitoring equipment whose AX60 CO2 monitor Coastal Carbonic distributes. Comparable as the upstream technology supplier / partner for Coastal Carbonic's CO2 safety monitoring product line.
