About Us
Thoroughbred Industrial Cylinder Exchange History
In 2002, Thoroughbred Industrial Cylinder Exchange was created by The Scott-Gross Company, a 50 year old welding supply distributor based in Lexington, KY. Philip Scott, the former Scott-Gross Company President, provided the industry knowledge, working capital, and market insight that led to the successful launch.

SAFETY DATA SHEETS
Precautions and Safe Practices for Welding and Cutting Gas
Always read the safety information and the material Safety Data Sheets (SDS) supplied by the manufacturers of gas, materials and equipment used in welding operations. This information will recommend safe practices that will protect you from health hazards, such as fumes, gases, and arc burns. Recommendations concerning ventilation and protective devices should be carefully followed.
To weld and cut safely, you must have a thorough knowledge of the welding process and equipment you will be using, and all of the hazards involved.
Retail space is valuable. Only efficient and effective displays will result in optimized sales. At Thoroughbred, our graphic and design capabilities empower us to make custom merchandising planograms that meet the specific needs of our customers.
Planogram signs have to communicate many things. They need to engage the consumer as they walk down the aisle and help them make an informed purchasing decision quickly. Your store brand needs to be consistently represented and reinforced in the minds of consumers. Thoroughbred is ready to help you with your planogram sign needs.
