The global corporation raked in a consolidated revenue of €16,380bn ($18.4bn) in 2015, up 3.3% on a comparable basis from the previous year. Air Liquide attributes this business growth to a “momentum in healthcare and electronics, and in Large Industries by higher volumes from new contracts.”

Its operating margin also benefitted from a high level of efficiency gains and lower energy prices, and rose to 17.6%.
