Gases and services for industry and healthcare
Industrial gases and services, the group's main business, represent, together with engineering, more than 80% of group sales.
For its regional or local customers, Air Liquide has set up Regional Customer Service Centres in Australia several years ago. This new organization enables the many teams set up locally to better focus on customer requirements and provide them with real added value, by simplifying their management, improving their productivity, reducing their costs and helping them protect the environment.
In addition to standard gases and services, such as oxygen and
nitrogen supplied by pipeline, Air Liquide also provides its major
industrial customers with an expanded offer which includes such products
as hydrogen, steam and electrical power. Their combined production can
provide big savings.
Air Liquide Healthcare is developing a line of special in-patient and homecare products and services.
