History
Founded in 2003 by John Raquet, gasworld started life as a web portal for global industrial gas news and information. It quickly became apparent that there was appetite for a print publication and our first magazine, gasworld Global, was launched soon after in April 2005.
gasworld went on to host its very first event in 2007, an industrial gas conference in Dubai, under the theme of “Middle East: The New Industrial Frontier”.
The Business Intelligence unit of gasworld was launched in 2011 and was then expanded upon in 2013, with this department and its reports heavily cited in the merger of equals between Germany-based The Linde Group and US-based Praxair, Inc.
Our family of publications was added to once again in 2013 when gasworld took over CryoGas International, a US-based industrial gas journal and opened its US office in Hopkinton, MA. The CryoGas magazine was re-branded as gasworld (US edition) in 2016 to more closely resemble the gasworld brand.
In 2018, the gasworld Yearbook was launched to showcases the top news of the year, as well as delivering intelligence and trend analysis from all areas of the industrial gas sector.
