American Air Liquide
US arm of the global industrial gases giant — oxygen, nitrogen, hydrogen, and electronic gases for American manufacturing
The product
Owns and operates 2,000+ miles of US industrial gas pipelines plus on-site air-separation units and hydrogen plants supplying oxygen, nitrogen, hydrogen, argon, syngas and ultra-high-purity electronic specialty gases. Customers span steel mills, refineries and petrochemicals (Large Industries), packaged-gas distribution via Airgas (acquired 2016, US subsidiary), semiconductor fabs (Electronics), hospitals (Healthcare), and emerging hydrogen mobility.
The thesis
Air Liquide is one of two firms (with Linde) that physically supply most of the molecules American industry runs on. As US reindustrialization accelerates — TSMC Arizona and Intel fabs need ultra-high-purity gases, hydrogen hubs need electrolyzers and pipelines, decarbonized steel needs hydrogen — Air Liquide USA is critical infrastructure. Their Airgas subsidiary is also the largest US distributor of welding gases and hard goods, the connective tissue of every metal shop in America.
