This change marks a significant milestone in the Group’s evolution toward a unified global identity, reinforcing its commitment to sustainable growth, operational excellence, and customer focus.
While the name is changing, our priorities, values, and purpose remain the same. We will keep on offering a service based on excellence and safety, as well as enabling a sustainable future for all.
Why this change?
This collective decision will unify all Nippon Sanso Holdings Group companies (except the THERMOS business) under a globally-recognised brand: Nippon Sanso.
Until now, the Group has operated under different brand names across regions. Unifying under the Nippon Sanso name reflects the true scale of the Group as a global leader in industrial and medical gases and strengthens its position as one cohesive organisation, present in more than 30 countries worldwide.
“By uniting under the Nippon Sanso name, we are strengthening our global identity,” said Raoul Giudici, President of Nippon Gases. “This enables closer collaboration across regions and reinforces the consistent standards our stakeholders can expect—while keeping the same trusted local teams and relationships, now backed by a unified global brand delivering quality, safety, and innovation worldwide.”
This unified brand will enhance collaboration, accelerate innovation, and reinforce the Group’s reputation for delivering consistently high standards across the globe—while remaining deeply rooted in local markets.
Why Nippon Sanso?
The Nippon Sanso name carries more than 115 years of history and connects heritage, purpose, and future ambition in a meaningful and authentic way.
By becoming Nippon Sanso, we strengthen a global identity that has long been part of who we are. This unification is a step forward for all of us—a reaffirmation of our purpose to enable the future through innovative gas solutions, empowering industries, communities, and everyday life.
Using the invisible to improve the visible, as one.
