Ensuring a Safe Work Environment for All
Braud Company was started in 1985 by Randy Braud. It was a small business located in Geismar, offering welding supplies. He realized there was a need for a more complete supply business that offered welding and industrial supplies with an emphasis on customer service. What he meant by customer service, is having delivery when you need it. He realized he could not provide this service and meet his potential by staying in the original building of 1,500 sq. ft. So, he moved to a 9,000 sq. ft. office/warehouse located on River Road in Geismar. He began building his sales and service team to make his dream a reality.
Today, Braud Company (Braud Welding & Industrial Supply) has 18 employees, new vehicles, and over 22,000 sq. ft. of office and warehouse space. They also have a walk-in store and Will Call area.
Sadly, their president, Randy Braud, passed away on October 19, 2010. He is tremendously missed by all who knew and loved him. Their new president is Mrs. Ranette B. Newgard who is committed to ensuring that Braud Company continues to grow and serve the customers and community that have helped them to get to this point. Tim Braud, their General Manager, works endlessly to ensure the smooth operation of the business, safety for his employees, and satisfaction for customers and vendors. He is dedicated and a true leader who is moving them toward the future.
