“Diversity is ‘typical of Messer’ and fundamental to our success.”
Diversity is a term that accurately describes our company in several respects. On the one hand, it applies with regard to our global Messer team. Irrespective of gender, age, origin, religious beliefs, and sexual orientation, we focus on what really matters diverse personalities with individual strengths. This mixture is “typical of Messer” and fundamental to our success as a business. Diversity also applies to the applications of our gases. This is especially true when it comes to environmental protection and sustainability. In this issue of “Gases for Life,” you will discover how the targeted use of hydrogen in rail transportation ensures greater environmental compatibility. You will find out more about Messer’s new CO₂ recovery facility in Austria and about how nitrogen is used for recycling PET. The cover story of this issue also concerns sustainability. It presents the numerous and highly efficient roles that gases play in the sustainable production and processing of food. I am sure that you will – once again – find the diversity of our gas applications fascinating. I would be delighted to get your feedback. You can do this by using the option to rate and share articles online. I hope you enjoy reading this issue of Gases for Life Yours
