Linde (NASDAQ:LIN) (NASDAQ: LIN) is a multinational industrial gases and engineering company that supplies gases, related technologies and services to a wide range of industries. The company traces its current form to the 2018 combination of Germany’s Linde AG and U.S.-based Praxair, creating one of the largest global providers of industrial, specialty and medical gases. Linde’s business model centers on production, processing and distribution of gases as well as the design and construction of the plants and equipment needed to produce them.
Core products and services include atmospheric and process gases such as oxygen, nitrogen and argon; hydrogen and helium; carbon dioxide; and a portfolio of higher‑value specialty and electronic gases. Linde supplies gases in bulk and packaged forms, operates on-site gas generation and supply systems for large industrial customers, and provides cryogenic and liquefaction solutions for industrial and energy applications. In addition to gas supply, the company offers engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) services, plant maintenance, gas handling equipment and technical support to customers in sectors such as chemicals, refining, metals and mining, manufacturing, healthcare, food and beverage, and electronics.
Linde serves customers around the world through a network of production facilities, pipelines, distribution centers and on-site operations, organized across regional business units. The company complements its physical infrastructure with project services, aftermarket support and process‑optimization offerings designed to integrate gas supply into customers’ operations. Management and the board oversee a global footprint and a range of commercial models, from long‑term on‑site contracts to delivered-bulk and packaged-gas arrangements.
In recent years Linde has emphasized industrial innovation and energy-transition applications, including hydrogen production and low‑carbon process technologies, reflecting broader industry interest in decarbonization. The company’s capabilities in gas production, plant engineering and large-scale project execution position it as a significant provider of both traditional industrial gases and emerging gas‑based solutions for cleaner energy and manufacturing processes.
