🌊 Last Saturday, some of our Butte team attended the St. James Foundation Spirit Gala '26 at the Copper King Hotel and Convention Center.
The Beach Ball brought together the community for an evening of dinner, live auction, and good company, all in support of the St. James Foundation Patient Compassion Fund. That fund helps patients and families through some of their most difficult moments, and it is a cause we are glad to stand behind.
St. James/Intermountain Health has been a Gendco customer for over thirty years! Our Butte team delivers there three times a week. We are
proud to support St. James and the incredible work they do for the people of Butte and Southwest Montana.

🦺 Did you know there's a date stamp inside your hard hat?

Most hard hats carry a maximum three to five year service life from the date of manufacture, not the date of purchase. Sun, heat, and chemical exposure can shorten that window considerably. A hat that looks fine on the outside may not be providing the protection you're counting on.

Come see us and we'll help you make sure your crew's head protection is still doing its job.

⛳ Proud to be a Premium Sponsor of the 2026 Highlands College Golf Scramble at Highland View Golf Course last week in Butte!
This tournament benefits the Radiologic Technology program at Montana Technological University, and we were glad to show up for it. Here are Josh, Jake, Jordan, and Ryan representing Gendco on the course. It was a great day for a great cause!
Highlands College is doing important work developing the next generation of skilled professionals right here in Montana, and we're honored to support that mission. Congratulations to everyone who participated and helped make this scramble a success. See you on the course next year!

🧊 All Sport Body Quencher Freezer Pops are everything you love about the drink, packed into a frozen pop loaded with electrolytes, potassium, and B vitamins. Four flavors, one seriously refreshing way to keep your team going on a hot Montana day.

Summer is coming, and if your crew is working outside, hydration is not just comfort -- it is a safety requirement.
We carry them in store and supplies are limited. Stop by any of our six locations and grab yours before they're gone.

🎓 To the Class of 2026, congratulations!
This year we had the privilege of showing up alongside a lot of you. At the FFA JAM Show, at SkillsUSA Montana, at the welding programs at MSU Northern and more. We served as judges, we sponsored events, we fired up the grill, and we watched you work.

What we saw gave us a lot of confidence in what comes next for this state. The trades are alive and well in Montana, and agriculture is in good hands. The skills you have built, the standards you held yourselves to, and the pride you brought to your craft do not go unnoticed.

Go make something great. We will be watching, and we will be rooting for you. We couldn't be prouder of the next generation of Montana's Graduates!

💻 We have been busy behind the scenes, and it is time to show it!

Gendco's website just got a comprehensive overhaul, and it is built to make your life easier. Whether you are shopping for industrial gases, welding equipment, filler metals, safety gear, or anything in between, our new site puts thousands of products at your fingertips with an experience that actually makes sense.

This is not just a new look. It is a better way to do business with us, any time of day, from anywhere in Montana. And we are just getting started. A full resource blog is rolling out soon with the kind of practical, trade-specific content you can actually use.

Take a look and tell us what you think. Shop.gendco.com
