Industrial Gases

The Industrial Gas Business is the supply of technical gases by one of three supply
modes;
On-site and pipeline,
Bulk - (liquids and tube-trailer compressed gases)
Cylinder or packaged gases.

It excludes gases used primarily for heating, such as natural gas and LPG, except
where these are used for cutting and welding or supplied at very high purity for chem
or other use.

The defining characteristic of the Industrial Gas business is that whilst the cost of s
gases in the final product is often small, the absence of the gas generally inhibits
production.

The Industrial Gas Business is thus a service industry focused on the reliability and
availability of the supply to end-users.

Cost Management

However, Industrial Gas Companies realise that costs can really only be managed b
production and distribution expertise for any supply mode. Therefore, a successful
Industrial Gas Company manages its costs by supply mode or product line but
manages its customers and applications technologies by market sector.

In the case of larger volume users there is also an option to own an industrial gas pl
and "make" their own gases, rather than the "buy" option of onsite or pipeline supply

Most of the major Industrial Gas Companies will sell such plant to an end-user as w
large number of independent equipment suppliers.
The "make" versus "buy" decision is often at the heart of most new large volume
industrial gas requirements. Plants owned by end-users are generally referred to as
"captive".
Industrial Gas Companies view the conversion of "captive" capacity to "onsite" as a
risk opportunity to increase market penetration or market share.
