INDUSTRIAL WELDING SUPPLY, INC.
J i m C u s i c k ’s f a t h e r s t a r t e d Industrial Welding Supply in 1947. Today Cusick mostly works from home while his son, Scott Cusick, handles operations at the Sayreville, N.J.headquartered company. Jim began at Industrial Welding Supply when he was 17. He says the company is still guided by the principles that his father held important: “Treat the customers like family.” Scott Cusick believes part of the company’s longevity is due to its ability to keep employees, an ability that springs from that “treat them like family” philosophy. Both father and son are optimistic about the future for the company and its 26 employees. Jim sees a lot of construction work driving demand for gases and welding supplies. In his area, that’s everything from highways to power plants. “This should be one of our busiest years,” says Scott, noting that because the company runs lean, it could be a very good year.
