Overview
Messer Tehnogas is an industrial gas producer and supplier based in Serbia and operating as part of the Germany-headquartered Messer Group, one of the world's largest privately held specialists in industrial, medical and specialty gases. The company is the Serbian arm of the Messer network, serving customers across manufacturing, metals, chemicals, food and beverage, glass, automotive, construction and healthcare with atmospheric gases such as oxygen, nitrogen and argon, together with hydrogen, carbon dioxide, acetylene, shielding gases and gas mixtures. As an industrial gas business, Messer Tehnogas combines gas production — including air separation units and filling plants — with distribution of cylinders, bulk liquid and on-site supply, plus related equipment, welding technology and application engineering. Its customer base spans large industrial accounts that require pipeline or on-site gas supply and smaller users that rely on cylinder and packaged gas delivery. The brand sits within the Messer Group, a family-owned industrial gas company founded in Germany in 1898 by Adolf Messer. Messer has grown through a combination of organic expansion and acquisitions across Europe, Asia and the Americas, and the Serbian operation carries the Messer name and technical standards into the Southeast European market. Messer Tehnogas is therefore best understood as a national operating company and brand of a larger multinational group rather than an independent listed corporation. Its positioning is that of a reliable, technically capable industrial gas partner: safety, supply reliability, gas application know-how and customer service are central to how the brand presents itself. The company maintains production and filling facilities in Serbia and distributes its products and services through its own logistics and sales organization, supported by the wider Messer Group's engineering and research capabilities.
History
Messer Tehnogas is the Serbian operating company of the Messer Group, a German industrial gas producer founded in 1898 by Adolf Messer in Frankfurt. Messer grew into one of the leading European industrial gas companies during the twentieth century, developing expertise in air separation, gas applications and welding technology. After the Second World War the business was continued by Adolf Messer's son, Hans Messer, and later expanded internationally. The modern Messer Group took shape after the Messer family bought back the industrial gas business from Hoechst in the 1990s, re-establishing Messer as an independent, family-owned industrial gas specialist. From that base Messer expanded across Central and Eastern Europe, Asia and the Americas, often by acquiring or establishing national gas companies. The Serbian business, trading as Messer Tehnogas, became part of this network, bringing the Messer brand and technical standards to the Serbian market. Messer Tehnogas produces and distributes atmospheric and other industrial gases for Serbian industry and healthcare. Its activities include air separation and gas filling, cylinder and bulk distribution, on-site supply for large customers, and the sale of related equipment and welding technology. The company serves sectors such as steel and metals, chemicals, glass, food and beverage, automotive, construction and medicine. As part of the Messer Group, Messer Tehnogas benefits from the group's engineering resources, safety standards and application know-how. The Messer Group remains privately held and family owned, which shapes the brand's long-term, customer-oriented positioning in Serbia and the wider Southeast European region.
