Chris Ebeling, of Messer Americas, and Francesco Maione, of Air Products, were unanimously elected 2021 Chair and Vice-Chair respectively of the Compressed Gas Association (CGA) Board of Directors during the CGA’s Annual Meeting.
Ebeling, Executive Vice-President of Sales and Marketing for US bulk at Messer Americas, is responsible for three sales channels – order-to-cash, product management and strategy, applications and R&D – as well as Messer’s helium business in the Americas.
Ebeling, who has over 30 years of experience in the industrial gases business, said, “This past year has posed significant challenges. And yet, the Association has arguably never had a more impactful year. I’ve been very proud of CGA’s and our industry’s collective response to the Covid-19 pandemic. CGA membership drew attention to several challenges across the industry, including the CO2 shortage in the Spring of 2020, mitigating concerns around dry ice availability for vaccines in the Fall of 2020, and our industry’s ongoing efforts to ensure sufficient supplies of medical oxygen in the US and Canada. The timeliness and quality of the information we shared with government agencies, as well as the data and science behind the statements we made, has been very impactful. Truly, we would not be where we are today if not for the collaborative efforts of all the CGA member companies.”
