Family Owned — Customer Focused

Red Ball Oxygen has been under the ownership of the Kennedy family since Craig Kennedy purchased the business in 1969. We are an open-books, profit-sharing company that values employee growth and shared success. Our team is dedicated to providing you with a level of responsiveness that you won't find with our larger corporate competitors. We believe in personalized attention and taking the time to understand your needs and concerns. You can trust us to go above and beyond to ensure your satisfaction with our services.

Committed to Quality

The term Red Ball originated in the railroad industry during the late 19th century. When a shipment was designated as a "Red Ball," it meant that it had high priority and needed to be delivered quickly and efficiently. The phrase was immortalized by the “Red Ball Express” of World War II, who overcame severe logistical challenges to transport critical supplies from the ports of Normandy to the frontline troops.
 
We take the legacy of our namesake seriously. We understand that timely and accurate delivery is crucial to your success, which is why we strive to ensure that your orders are delivered on time—and filled completely and accurately—every time. We call it The Perfect Order, and we hold three ISO accreditations attesting to our track record of consistent performance.
