Industrial gas major Messer made headlines yesterday when it announced the completion of its takeover of Messer Industries, having acquired all shares in the company from CVC Capital Partners Fund VII (CVC).
The impact of its takeover is set to be felt throughout the global industrial gases business – a sector that has been shaped by Messer, a company that is celebrating its 125th anniversary throughout the year under its ‘125uccess Story’ slogan.
Started in 1898 by Adolf Messer, the company branched out from the manufacture of acetylene generators and lighting appliances to establish itself as one of the world’s leading industrial gases companies.
