NuCo2

NuCo2, headquartered in Stuart, Fla., is the largest supplier of liquid carbon dioxide (as opposed to carbon dioxide gas in cylinders) to retail establishments for carbonating and dispensing fountain beverages. It is also the only national supplier to this essentially non-cyclical U.S. market. NuCo2 traded on the NASDAQ Global Select Market as (NASDAQ: NUCO) until it was taken private in May 2008 by Los Angeles-based private equity firm Aurora Capital Group.
