The Messer Group was presented with three awards for accident-free work at this year’s European Industrial Gases Association (EIGA) conference in Düsseldorf.

From this location, it represents the vast majority of European companies that produce and distribute industrial, medical and food gases. The member companies closely co-operate in trying to achieve the highest possible standards in terms of safety and environmental protection during the production, transportation and application of gases.
