Air Liquide has released solid financials in its latest results with group revenue rising 6% to €5.3m in the third quarter.
This strong growth was in line with that of the first half year and was driven by a robust market environment overall, the Tier One corporation explained. This was supported by high Gas & Services sales, an improvement in Engineering & Construction and the strong growth of Global Markets & Technologies.
The sale of the Airgas Refrigerants business at the end of 2017 led to a significant scope impact of -0.5%. Published change in Group revenue was therefore up +6.6% over the quarter.
Highlights for Air Liquide in the third quarter include: the inauguration of the Paris Innovation Campus in the “Plateau de Saclay”; entry into Kazakhstan, with the signing of a long-term contract to supply hydrogen, and the takeover of an existing production unit; and the inauguration of an electrolyser for the production of carbon-free hydrogen in Denmark.
