Helget Gas Products is proud to announce the acquisition of CESCO, a Northwest Arkansas-based beverage gas and equipment provider headquartered in Fayetteville, Arkansas. This acquisition marks Helget Gas Products’ 15th branch location, expanding its footprint beyond its Omaha-based corporate office and 14 existing branch locations nationwide.
Strategically located in Fayetteville, the CESCO operation strengthens Helget Gas Products’ ability to support customers and branch operations across the region, enhancing service continuity, logistics efficiency, and customer responsiveness for existing and future markets.
CESCO began operations in 1998, initially focused on cleaning and servicing ice machines. Over time, the company expanded its offerings to include leasing and servicing ice machines, beverage equipment, dish machines, and bulk CO2 systems. Today, CESCO provides a broad range of beverage and gas solutions, including gourmet sodas and juices, nitrogen, propane, and CO2 tanks, serving customers throughout the tri-state region.
The company has built a strong reputation as a trusted partner to restaurants, convenience stores, and commercial beverage customers. CESCO specializes in monitored bulk CO2 systems with 24/7 tank monitoring, nitrogen supply, customized delivery programs designed to support uninterrupted beverage operations, and ongoing service and maintenance.
“We are excited to welcome CESCO into the Helget Gas Products family,” said Jim Helget, President of Helget Gas Products. “This location is a strategic addition to our network and supports our long-term growth plans. CESCO has earned the trust of its customers through consistent service and strong local relationships, which align well with how we do business.”
Tony Wing, Owner of CESCO, shared what he and his wife, Kattie, are most excited about moving forward. “What excites us most is Helget Gas’ ability to take CESCO to the next level of service for this region,” said Wing. “Their resources, infrastructure, and commitment to service will allow our customers to benefit from expanded support and enhanced service capabilities throughout the region.”
This acquisition reflects Helget Gas Products’ ongoing strategy of growing through strong regional partnerships that enhance service while preserving local relationships. Helget Gas Products continues to explore opportunities with businesses interested in expanding their reach while maintaining a service-driven, customer-first approach.
