The company also reported a one-quarter increase for the Messer Group – which also comprises pro-rate profit at Messer Industries – resulting in annual result of €346m ($381m).

Messer remains on course for growth: Strong increase in sales in all markets

• Industrial gases specialist presents key financial figures for the 2022 financial year 
• Combined sales* above the 4-billion-euro mark for the first time 
• Annual surplus significantly higher as well 
• CEO Bernd Eulitz: “Once again, Messer has demonstrated the strength of its business model and sees great potential for further growth.” 

With significant growth in sales and profits, Messer, the world’s leading privately held company specializing in industrial, medical and specialty gases, remained on course for growth in the 2022 financial year. The economic recovery that continued following the easing in restrictions in response to the pandemic led to an increasing demand for industrial gases in many of the markets of relevance to Messer. These effects were countered by high rates of inflation and geopolitical challenges.

In a political and economic environment that is still challenging, Messer increased combined sales* for the Messer Group and the Messer Industries joint venture by 19.6 percent in the past year, for a repeat in double-digit percentage growth. At EUR 4.16 billion,* Messer exceeded the 4-billion-euro mark for the first time. The annual result for the Messer Group, which also comprises pro-rata profit at Messer Industries, was higher as well and climbed nearly one-quarter to EUR 346 million.

As CEO Bernd Eulitz explained: “Messer has once again demonstrated the strength of its business model, which is focused on stability and sustainability. Once more, we have demonstrated that our broad regional and sectoral diversification puts us in a position to grow profitably – even under challenging conditions. We will continue along this path as we tap the vast potential we see for a consistently customer- and value-oriented company such as Messer in global competition.”

In 2022, Messer further increased its investments in expansion of its existing business and opening up fresh potential for profitable growth: Total investments* were around a fifth, or more than EUR 100 million higher and stood at EUR 625 million.

Dynamic sales growth in the regions

Messer Group’s business in China faced a difficult economic environment. There, severe pandemic restrictions and difficulties in the real-estate sector had a negative impact on demand in the steel industry and led to delays in new plant construction as well. The business trend was positive, however, with customers in other sectors, and in the field of specialty gases. Sales were thus fully 10 percent higher and finished the year at EUR 712 million; after adjusting for currency effects, sales were slightly higher than in the previous year. A strong trend in Vietnam in particular contributed to combined sales totaling EUR 848 million in China and the ASEAN region (2021: EUR 752 million).

Total proceeds in Central and Southeastern Europe were 22.7 percent higher in the financial year under report and stood at EUR 653 million. Among other effects, the commissioning of a new air separation unit (LZA) in the Czech Republic and a liquefier in Poland generated additional sales.

Messer’s business in Germany within the Messer Group – primarily Messer SE & Co. KGaA and two other corporate companies – comprises a sales volume of EUR 72 million. The decline of approx. 7 percent is mainly attributable to the fact that sales in the 2021 financial year were positively influenced by the conclusion of a major hardware sale.

The business activities of Messer Industries involve the following regions:

Revenues in North America rose to EUR 1.74 billion (an increase of 21.7 percent). With sales volumes holding predominantly steady, this growth owes to the passing-on of increased costs of sales to customers, and to positive currency effects.

Messer managed to pass along inflation-related added costs – for energy, for example – in Western Europe as well, which includes business operations in Germany. Sales for the Western European companies were around one-quarter higher and finished the year at EUR 489 million. Sales quantities remained largely constant. In the field of liquid CO 2 , however, these figures were higher due to the commissioning of two new plants in France and Belgium.

In South America, sales grew by around 21.5 percent and stood at EUR 360 million, with Brazil accounting for some two-thirds of this. In this region as well, the increase was also the result of passing increased energy prices along to customers. Appreciation in the Brazilian Real against the Euro had a positive impact in this regard as well.

Industrial Gases Specialist Messer Completes Acquisition of Joint Venture Messer Industries - GIC is New Strategic Partner

• Messer completes acquisition of all shares in Messer Industries from minority owner CVC Capital Partners Fund VII
• GIC becomes Messer’s new strategic partner
• All regions will be represented on the Management Board of Messer SE & Co. KGaA
• CEO Bernd Eulitz: "As a successful gases group in Asia, Europe and the Americas, we will be even stronger and drive forward our ambitious growth plans together with GIC as our new partner."

Messer, the world's leading privately owned specialist for industrial, medical and specialty gases, has completed the acquisition of the joint venture Messer Industries, following receipt of various regulatory approvals. With sole ownership of Messer Industries, Messer can now grow as one globally positioned gases group.

In addition GIC, a global institutional investor, will now become a long-term minority shareholder in Messer. GIC has a track record of partnering with family businesses around the world and supports Messer's strategy for sustainable, profitable growth.

Bernd Eulitz , CEO of Messer, said: "With the now approved partnership with GIC and the full acquisition of Messer Industries, Messer is opening a new chapter in its 125-year corporate history. As a gases group successful in Asia, Europe and the Americas, we will be even stronger and drive forward our ambitious plans with GIC as our new partner. Messer has enormous potential with its 11,000 employees worldwide. We want to move closer to the big players in the industry as the number one challenger."

The acquisition of Messer Industries marks the end of the successful collaboration between Messer and CVC Capital Partners on the previous joint venture, which comprised Messer's companies in North and South America as well as Western Europe.

Messer sees major opportunities in all its business areas worldwide. The company is aiming for greater diversification of its offering with a focus on particularly promising sectors or through partnerships in the wake of the green energy transition. Messer expects significant increases in sales and earnings and has the potential to roughly double its business volume by the end of the decade.

Messer is the world's largest privately held specialist for industrial, medical and specialty gases. Messer's Gases for Life are used in industry, environmental protection, medicine, the food industry, welding and cutting technology, 3D printing, construction, research and science. As a global player, Messer offers its sustainable products and services in Asia, Europe and the Americas. More than 11,000 employees work together successfully with a focus on diversity and mutual respect.

In most industrial processes, gases are just as important as water and electricity and play a major role in their decarbonization – through the use of green hydrogen, for example. Messer offers one of the largest product portfolios in the market and develops and optimizes application technologies for gases in state-of-the-art competence centers.

As a pharmaceutical company, Messer supplies medical and pharmaceutical gases and turnkey solutions and has a proven track record as a reliable provider of vital products – in pandemic situations, for example.

Founded in 1898, the company’s headquarters are located in Bad Soden, near Frankfurt, Germany.

In 2022, Messer generated an expected consolidated sales of 4.164 billion* euros.
