Under the leadership of Raimy's sons, Bruce and Gary, the company has grown significantly. In addition to its 15, 000-square-foot headquarters at 1628 Cascade Street, in Erie, the company now includes a 7, 000-square-foot Jamestown Division. It is indeed a family business, but one that extends beyond the Raimys to include both customers and employees. And, if longevity of employment says anything about the company, consider the fact that 90 percent of Welders Supply employees have been with the company 10 years or longer. Welder Supply's success is attributable to its staff, but also to its basic philosophies and principles. "We are a quality service provider, " explains Bruce Raimy. "We believe in maintaining a complete, readily accessible inventory of gases, welding equipment, supplies and accessories at both of our locations, and we provide prompt delivery." Welders Supply inventories a half-million pounds of welding consumables, such as electrodes and wires. Delivery trucks operating from both locations provide on-time delivery to customers in Erie, Jamestown and other nearby locations including Corry, Union City, Meadville, Warren and sections of New York State. They also service Oil City, Franklin and Titusville, Pennsylvania. A belief in community service is a fundamental part of Welders Supply Company's philosophy. "The community has been very good to our business ; we want to repay that as much as we can, " acknowledges Raimy. "Our employees know their own lifestyle can only be as good as that of the community as a whole, " he adds. "And, as a company, we are committed to the United Way."
