with an acquisition.
Air Liquide is accelerating its growth in the Turkish market
with the acquisition of Messer Aligaz Sanayi Gazlari,
a subsidiary of industrial gas company Messer Group GmbH.
Messer Aligaz
provides industrial, medical and specialty gases
to a range of industries in Turkey. The company,
which has close to 70 employees,
generated a revenue of around 9 million euros in 2014.
The activities of Messer Aligaz, mainly focused on
the Industrial Merchant segment, are located
in the highly industrialized regions of
the Marmara and the Aegean.
The company owns and operates
* an air separation unit (ASU) for
the production of liquid oxygen, nitrogen and argon,
* and 3 cylinder filling centers.
With this acquisition, Air Liquide enters the Marmara region
and will now be present
in the three main industrial areas of the country:
Ankara, Istanbul and Izmir.
The combination of the two companies
will further increase Air Liquide’s capacity
to create value for its customers.
This acquisition is part of continued investments
by Air Liquide in Turkey. Since 2011,
the Group has already invested in
two production sites in Ankara and Izmir.
