A-Gas facilities

We continually invest a significant proportion of our profits in developing and maintaining facilities of the highest quality and standards. All our facilities are purpose built, highly sophisticated and engineered to take advantage of the latest technological advances. This includes customized automated filling plant and our own proprietary cylinder tracking system, "Cyltrak", which enables us to track each and every one of our cylinders throughout the filling process and supply chain, ensuring product integrity and providing value enhancing data and trends to our customers. We have also invested in substantial storage capacity at all our major trading subsidiaries around the world, allowing us to manage local as well as international inventories and consistently meet customers' requirements in full on a 'just in time' basis, even during times of international shortage. These facilities help us to maintain our competitive edge and provide significant added value to our customers.

The A-Gas approach

A-Gas success is based on developing and maintaining long-term strategic partnerships with key customers and suppliers, and ensuring that we are flexible to their respective needs and objectives. Continuous training and development programs ensure our staff and customers are kept up to date with the latest industry regulatory changes and technological advances. We operate within a framework of responsible product stewardship, ensuring that we and our customers continue to maximise efficiencies and meet our respective environmental, regulatory and health and safety responsibilities. We continuously investigate opportunities to diversify our product range where our core competencies allow us to add value to the supply chain between manufacturer and end user, and this has enabled us to successfully add a number of new product lines to our portfolio, such as cryogenic gases for the drinks industry and fluorinated speciality chemicals for the Agrochemical and Pharmaceutical industries.
