Organized as an Irish‐domiciled public company with operational headquarters in Guildford, England, Linde serves customers in more than 100 countries. Its core activities include the production, processing, storage and distribution of gases such as oxygen, nitrogen, argon, hydrogen and helium, as well as a portfolio of specialty gas mixtures tailored to industries ranging from manufacturing to healthcare.
In addition to gas supply, Linde provides comprehensive engineering services, including the design, construction and servicing of air separation plants, hydrogen production facilities and on‐site gas systems. The company’s turnkey offerings encompass project development, plant operation and maintenance, and digital solutions for gas management, enabling industrial customers to enhance productivity, improve safety and reduce environmental impact through advanced process control.
Founded in 1879 by Carl von Linde, the company built its reputation on pioneering refrigeration and gas separation technologies. A landmark merger with U.S. peer Praxair in 2018 created the modern Linde plc, combining complementary geographies and expertise to strengthen its position in North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America and the Middle East. This strategic transaction reinforced Linde’s capacity to invest in innovation and expand its global manufacturing footprint.
Today, Linde continues to focus on sustainable growth, leveraging its global network of manufacturing facilities and research centers to develop low‐carbon solutions such as industrial hydrogen and carbon capture applications. Supported by a leadership team with deep industry experience, the company aims to drive efficiency and decarbonization across the energy, chemicals, food and beverage, electronics and healthcare sectors.
