Air Products & Chemicals, Inc.

Air Products & Chemicals, Inc. on Delawaressa rekisteröity teollisuuskaasuja toimittava yhtiö, joka perustettiin vuonna 1940 ja joka toimittaa oxygen, nitrogen, argon, hydrogen, helium, carbon dioxide, syngas ja erikoiskaasuja teollisuusasiakkaille ympäri maailmaa. Sen liiketoiminta rakentuu suurten paikan päällä sijaitsevien kaasulaitosten, kaupallisen jakelun ja putkiverkostojen ympärille, jotka palvelevat asiakkaita jalostamoissa, kemianteollisuudessa, metalliteollisuudessa, elektroniikassa, valmistavassa teollisuudessa, lääketieteessä ja elintarvikealalla. Yhtiö suunnittelee ja myy myös kaasuja käsitteleviä laitteita, kuten air separation systems-, turbomachinery-, membrane systems- ja kryogeenisiä säiliöitä. Viime vuosina Air Products on lisäksi sijoittanut merkittävästi clean hydrogen -hankkeisiin, mukaan lukien osa maailman suurimmista vähähiilisistä vetyhankkeista, samalla kun se on uudelleen keskittänyt toimintaansa ydinteollisuuskaasuliiketoimintaan.

01
Refocus on core industrial gasesshort-term

The core gas business generates the majority of sales and is the most durable source of cash flow and competitive advantage.

02
Disciplined capital allocationshort-term

Large projects can create significant execution and demand risk, so stricter hurdle rates and risk-sharing are intended to protect returns.

03
Operational productivitymedium-term

Improving plant and supply-chain efficiency supports margins and helps offset energy and maintenance costs in a capital-intensive business.

04
Selective clean hydrogen developmentmedium-term

Hydrogen projects can support long-term decarbonization demand, but only if commercial terms and offtake risk are acceptable.

Air Productsille muodostuu syklistä kysyntäriskiä, koska sen kaasut kytkeytyvät teolliseen tuotantoon jalostuksessa, kemiateollisuudessa,...
