About Messer Group

Messer is the world’s largest family-run specialist for gases used in industry, environmental protection, medicine, the food and beverage sector, welding and cutting technology, 3D printing, construction, and research and science. Under the ‘Messer – Gases for Life’ brand, the company markets products and services in Europe, Asia and the Americas. Its 10,800 employees* collaborate in a family business that focuses on diversity and mutual respect.

In most industrial processes, gases are just as important as water and electricity and play a major role in their decarbonization – through the use of green hydrogen, for example. Messer offers one of the largest product portfolios in the market and develops and optimizes application technologies for gases in state-of-the-art competence centers.

As a pharmaceutical company, Messer supplies medical and pharmaceutical gases and turnkey solutions and has a proven track record as a reliable provider of vital products – in pandemic situations, for example.

Founded in 1898, the company’s headquarters are located in Bad Soden, near Frankfurt, Germany.

In 2020, Messer generated consolidated sales of 3.1 billion* euros.
