World-class Innovation

Air Products pioneered the “on-site” concept of producing and selling industrial gases in 1940. That revolutionary idea not only launched our company, it launched the industrial gas industry we know today.

Since then, we have built a reputation for our innovative culture, operational excellence, and commitment to safety and the environment. Tomorrow’s challenges demand diverse thinking, applications and mega-project expertise, and a collaborative spirit. Our passionate and talented employees are rising to this challenge every day by creating innovative solutions that benefit our customers and our world.
