SECTION SCHOLARSHIPS<\/strong><\/h3>

Keen Compressed Gas Scholarship<\/strong><\/h4>

Keen was founded in Wilmington Delaware in 1919 by Stanley Keen. Stanley started in a variety of businesses in the early years including food products and auto parts but finally settled into the welding supplies business in the 1930s and 1940s. In 1965 the business transitioned to the youngest of Stanley and Frances Keen\u2019s 13 children as Merrill Keen became the company\u2019s third president. Today, we are still family owned and operated with Merrill and Linda Keen\u2019s three children Kim, Jon and Bryan leading the company.<\/p>

Our company was founded on taking care of our employees, our customers and our community. \u201cKeen Service Counts\u201d and \u201cTotal Customer Satisfaction\u201d are two slogans that have carried us through the years and still hold true today.
