Air Liquide’s origin dates to 1902 when it was founded by Georges Claude and since that date the Group has grown to a global presence (130 subsidiaries in countries). During the last thirty years the Group has achieved solid and sustained growth. The business has developed a network of technology centres across the world to continue innovation and develop new value added solutions for customers.
Air Liquide acquired the UK business in May 2004 from the Messer Group. For 12 years or so, the company had been part of this group during which it had transformed being a supplier of Carbon Dioxide (CO2) and Dry Ice to a wide portfolio, including industrial and specialty gas supply. The origins of the business in the UK go back to when it was part of the Distillers group, focused on CO2 recovery and production from whisky manufacturing.
The business now combines its historic strengths including reliable supply, service engineering and process expertise with the complete offers available through the Air Liquide Group. Air Liquide UK’s position in the market has continued to develop with the acquisitions in 2007 of Linde Gas UK and Scott Specialty Gases giving increased strengths in hydrogen production, bulk helium, industrial cylinder supply and specialty gas capability.
