Nippon Sanso 

Nippon Sanso Holdings Corporation operates as a prominent global entity in the industrial gas sector, with a widespread presence across Japan, the United States, Europe, Asia, and Oceania. Its diverse activities are structured into five distinct segments: specific gas businesses tailored for Japan, the U.S., Europe, and Asia/Oceania, along with a dedicated Thermos Business. The company provides an extensive array of industrial gases, including common types such as oxygen, nitrogen, argon, carbon dioxide, helium, hydrogen, and acetylene, alongside highly specialized gases like those for electronic materials and pure gas applications. Furthermore, Nippon Sanso offers a comprehensive suite of related equipment, covering installation services, semiconductor manufacturing equipment, cutting and welding apparatus and materials, industrial plants, machinery, and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) solutions. It also supplies gases and specialized equipment for medical use, as well as stable isotopes. Beyond its core gas operations, the corporation produces consumer houseware items, specifically stainless-steel vacuum bottles. Founded in Tokyo, Japan, in 1910, the company rebranded to Nippon Sanso Holdings Corporation in October 2020, having previously been known as Taiyo Nippon Sanso Corporation, and functions as a subsidiary of Mitsubishi Chemical Holdings Corporation.
