(PDI), Danbury, Conn., &nbsp;a subsidiary of Praxair Inc., announces that its two joint venture companies operating in the southeastern United States have merged. The transaction involves merging Praxair Distribution Southeast &nbsp;(PDSE) LLC, a PDI joint venture operating in Florida and southeast Georgia since 1997, into NexAir LLC. NexAir is a 75-year old company that entered into a joint venture with PDI in 2012, with locations in Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Tennessee.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tNexAir will grow to have annual sales of more than $200 million and 67 locations with the merger, adding coverage throughout the state of Florida. Its existing senior management team will continue to lead the combined business.<\/p>\n<p>\n\t&#8220;Both the PDSE and nexAir businesses have been very successful partnerships for PDI in the southeast, and it makes sense to now combine them,&#8221; &nbsp;said Scott Kaltrider, president Praxair Distribution Inc. &#8220;It will allow us to streamline and simplify our management processes and improve customer focus and clarity around PDI&#8217;s channel strategy. Together we will provide a stronger network of services and capabilities throughout the region.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\n\twww.praxairsurfacetechnologies.com &nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\n\t&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Praxair Distribution Inc.
