Global Gases, a producer and distributor of speciality industrial gases, has chosen Malta as the site for the first speciality gas blending facility in the Mediterranean. The €2 million facility, located in the Bulebel Industrial Estate, Żejtun, was inaugurated by Investment and Economy Minister Chris Cardona.
Headquartered in Dubai, Global Gases produces speciality gases such as mixtures based on argon and helium for metal joining, breathing gas mixtures for deep water offshore operations, mixtures of liquid helium and nitrogen and associated products and services for MRI operations, cylinder gases and mixtures for research, laboratory and other medical applications.
Global Gases’ managing director and CEO Deepak Mehta said: “Our new plant in Malta, which is the first speciality gas blending facility in the Mediterranean and Europe, will provide an excellent base for us to further improve our ability to serve clients in Malta, across North and West Africa, as well as Southern Europe and the Eastern Mediterranean.”
