The Messer Group recently announced that it acquired its competitor Air Products’ shares in Messer Carburos. This means that, for the first time since it was established in 1970, the Spanish subsidiary is wholly owned by Messer.
The acquisition of the shares is part of the Messer Group’s strategy to invest in its core markets of Europe and Asia, and underlines its position as an independent, privately managed industrial gas producer with Stefan Messer at the helm as owner and CEO.
In the Spanish province of Tarragona, Messer is currently investing 40 million euros in one of Spain’s largest air separation plants, which is forecasted to go into operation in July.
