Who we are  [ Return to  Welcome  ]

In 1902 Air Liquide was the first to develop a viable process for liquefaction of gases found in the air. That led to the creation of the industrial gas industry, which today is improving the productivity and safety of most manufacturing processes, while helping to protect the environment.

We supply oxygen, nitrogen, hydrogen and many other gases and services to most industries (steel and oil refining, chemistry and glass, electronics and paper, metallurgy and food-processing, healthcare and aerospace). Our innovative solutions improve our customers’ industrial performance while helping to protect the environment.

In a changing world where virtually every industry is in a process of evolution, standard formulas are becoming increasingly inadequate. At Air Liquide, we are committed to providing value for our customers by focusing our resources on their particular needs. By working closely with customers in their facilities, our experienced professionals help improve their efficiency and raise product quality while enhancing safety and environmental compliance. Our total commitment to providing creative solutions points the way to our customers' success.

Our global presence allows Air Liquide to combine the resources and expertise of a global enterprise with a powerful local presence based on independent customer-focused teams.

Our commitment to technology and innovation has kept Air Liquide at the forefront of the high-tech business of industrial gases for more than 100 years. Our objective is, and has always been, to fulfill customers’ needs while enhancing the company's expertise and competitiveness. The result is relentless pursuit of innovative solutions that improve customers’ industrial performance and protect the environment.

Our corporate strategy is focused on achieving sustainable growth through continued economic, social and human advancement. Since the beginning in 1902, Air Liquide has successfully practiced an ethic of responsibility and transparency; this is particularly evident in Air Liquide Group’s relationship with its shareholders.
