OKI Bering is the oldest independently owned welding, safety and industrial wholesaler in the marketplace. We have been serving the gases and welding industry for over 70 years.

OKI Bering's quality, excellence and caring began in 1937 as O.K.I. Supply Company, a distributor of welding and safety products from a single location in downtown Cincinnati, Ohio. Today, OKI Bering proudly continues that heritage as the largest independently owned world wide wholesaler of welding, safety and industrial products.
