About us
Cee Kay Supply, a St. Louis-based company, opened for business on November 3, 1948 as a distributor for National Cylinder Gas Company, a manufacturer of gases and welding equipment. Cee Kay was founded by Ralph Chase and Ralph Knight. They derived the name of Cee Kay by using the “C” from Chase and the “K” from Knight.
On August 22, 1951, Chase and Knight sold the assets of the company to Homer Fudge. At that time, Paul Dunn was a Service Technician with National Cylinder Gas Company and Cee Kay Supply was one of his customers. In April of 1955, Paul Dunn became the Sales Manager for Cee Kay Supply.
On December 6, 1955, Dunn purchased all of the stock of Cee Kay Supply from Homer Fudge.
When Dunn purchased the company, there were three employees: Paul Dunn, one truck driver and one bookkeeper. Also at that time, Cee Kay operated with one truck and utilized a building with space between 3,000-5,000 square feet. The growth of the company exceeded the space available. In 1957, Cee Kay moved to new facilities on Folsom Avenue.
Cee Kay experienced continued growth for the next 24 years. Sales grew from $100,000 per year and three employees to $2.6 million and 18 employees. Paul Dunn retired in March of 1979, and his son, Tom Dunn, took over as President of the company. Expansion plans for a new 20,000 square foot office/warehouse began and in 1985 Cee Kay moved into their new facility across the street.
For the next 16 years, Cee Kay expanded by adding three more branch locations to the west of St. Louis and two locations in Illinois, to better serve their customers.
In November of 1997, Cee Kay had an opportunity to move its headquarters two miles west to a 120,000 square foot building on six acres. The new headquarters on Manchester Road, between I-44 & Highway 40, enables Cee Kay to better serve customers by having everything under one roof.
Cee Kay Supply currently services within a 100-mile radius of the St. Louis metropolitan area.

A TraCKer cylinder report includes:• Days on hand for each cylinder• Cylinders broken down by job site• Cylinder divided by gas type and size
TraCKer is a cylinder bar coding system that allows us to monitor the movement of cylinders to and from customer sites and within our own facility. Bar codes are placed on each of Cee Kay’s 60,000 cylinders and handheld scanners are used to scan them when they move locations, allowing Cee Kay to verify deliveries and returns.
For more information on our Cylinder Tracking System, please contact us at [email protected] or (314) 644-3500.
“The TraCKer system at Cee Kay Supply has saved SWIC a tremendous amount of money over the years. Since we started using the system, we have never lost a cylinder, due to how efficiently the TraCKer system manages your cylinder inventory. We receive a monthly cylinder invoice, which keeps us updated on cylinder movement and usage. Cee Kay’s TraCKer system gives me peace of mind by knowing our supplier uses the most accurate system in the industry.

GAS EXPRESS SYSTEM®
TEMPORARY GAS SUPPLY
BULK
The Gas Express System is the latest solution to microbulk storage and distribution. Gas is delivered directly from our truck to a stationary liquid container, known as a Permacyl Unit, through a wall mounted fill box connection. This process can be accomplished without interruption to your operation. With cellular technology, we can put an end to phone orders and product monitoring. Our new cellular system alerts Cee Kay when product is low. Upon receipt of the alert, a product delivery will be scheduled the next day. Product usage is recorded to forecast future deliveries.
Gas Express System EliminatesCylinder Handling - Product Run-Outs - Inventory Management - Delivery & Process Interruptions - Residual Product Returns - Job Related Injuries - Excessive Vent Loss
In large operations, demand may require a bulk tank installation. Cee Kay has the capability of installing and maintaining bulk and microbulk tanks. Our tanks range in size from 500 gallons and up.
Cee Kay’s bulk and microbulk telemetry allows Cee Kay to remotely mon-itor your gas supply. Telemetry will help you eliminate run outs, decrease delivery cost, and optimize your gas usage. For more information or an analysis of your operation, please contact [email protected] or (314) 644-3500.
Often times there are limited supply options for large gas requirements on a temporary or emergency need. Cee Kay has made the investment to offer equipment capable of providing Nitrogen, Oxygen, Argon and Hydrogen for temporary applications such as:
Tank Inerting - On-Site Cutting, Welding & Scrapping Projects - Planned and - Unplanned Maintenance - Bulk Tank Repair & Replacement - Pipeline - Pressure Testing - Pipeline Purging - Pipeline Pigging - Product Displacement
We offer portable cryogenic trailers, portable high-pressure tube trailers and temporary microbulk installations.
