Business
Linde plc is a global industrial gases and engineering company headquartered in Woking, United Kingdom, and registered in Ireland. Established in 1879, Linde is the world’s largest supplier of industrial gases by market share and revenue. The company manufactures, distributes, and sells a broad array of gases including atmospheric gases (oxygen, nitrogen, argon, rare gases), process gases (carbon dioxide, helium, hydrogen, ammonia, electronic gases, specialty gases, acetylene), and provides related gas processing and technology solutions. Linde serves diverse end markets such as healthcare, chemicals and energy, manufacturing, metals and mining, food and beverages, electronics, aerospace, and water treatment. It also designs and constructs turnkey process plants including air separation, hydrogen, synthesis, olefin, and natural gas plants. Linde operates extensively across the Americas, Europe, Middle East, Africa, and the Asia-Pacific region through more than 500 subsidiaries worldwide. Recent major developments include the strategic acquisition in 2025 of Airtec, a Middle Eastern industrial gas company, enhancing Linde’s footprint and supply chain reliability in a high-growth region. Linde has also maintained strong growth in small on-site plant solutions, signing a record number of long-term agreements in 2024 to build, own, and operate numerous customer plants, leveraging proprietary ECOVAR® technology to boost efficiency and reduce emissions. Furthermore, Linde continues its commitment to sustainability, reducing greenhouse gas emissions significantly in line with its 2035 target. The company reported solid financial performance in 2024, generating approximately $33 billion in revenue. Overall, Linde plc operates through integrated global and regional platforms providing industrial gases, engineering services, and advanced gas technologies designed to support decarbonization, efficiency improvements, and supply chain optimization across its wide array of industries and geographic markets. Its portfolio includes the longstanding legacy brands formed through the 2018 merger of Linde AG and Praxair, aligning with the company’s ongoing strategy of acquisitions, technological innovation, and expanded global market presence.
