Luxfer Gas Cylinders is the world’s largest manufacturer of high-pressure aluminium and carbon composite gas cylinders and has one of its facilities in Colwick, Nottingham.
From this factory alone, up to one million cylinders are produced each year – but the how and why behind those cylinders and their production is constantly evolving.
Luxfer’s products are used globally by people and organisations who work to make the world a better place, from high tech manufacturers using specialty gases stored in Luxfer’s SGS (Superior Gas Stability) cylinders, first responders using Luxfer’s lightweight medical oxygen cylinders, and to divers charting unexplored parts of the ocean to monitor the impact of climate change. And the company is using its expertise to produce the very best in cylinder design and manufacture. Here we look at some of the challenges the company is striving to meet and overcome.
