About Universal
Industrial Gases, Inc.
and Universal Cryo Gas, LLC
![]() |
Universal Industrial Gases (UIG) is a USA-based, world-wide supplier of industrial gases production equipment, together with related engineering, installation and startup services. Founded in 1992, UIG provides custom-engineered industrial gas production plants to customers throughout the world. UIG designs, manufactures and supplies air separation plants which produce nitrogen, oxygen and argon as gases and liquids. UIG also supplies carbon dioxide plants to recover and liquefy CO2 contained in waste or byproduct gas streams produced by industrial processes or natural gas processing plants. Universal Cryo Gas (UCG), a UIG affiliate, supplies on-site-produced gases to customers. UCG was established in 2005 to serve North American industrial gas users which have product demand high enough that on-site production is more economical than vaporization of bulk liquid products. UCG serves users which prefer to purchase gaseous oxygen and/ or nitrogen requirements under long-term, utility-like contracts instead of purchasing, owning and operating a nitrogen or oxygen production plant that would provide the products they need. |

UIG and UCG have
cost-effective supply solutions for many industries
UIG and UCG have supply solutions for companies in steelmaking, metals manufacturing, metals fabrication, refining, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, electronics, food and beverage processing, rubber, plastics, glass, energy exploration and production, pulp and paper, and many other types of industries and applications where the user requires nitrogen and/or oxygen at high enough rates that on-site gas production is more economically attractive than vaporization of bulk liquid products. In addition to supplying air separation plants to end users, UIG supplies air separation equipment and merchant liquid production plants to other industrial gas companies. UIG and UCG primarily focus on "middle market" customers and applications which require approximately 30 to 500 tons per day of nitrogen and/ or oxygen. At the lower end of this production range, customers can typically save hundreds of thousands of dollars a year versus continuing to purchase costly and volatile-priced liquid nitrogen or oxygen. Industrial gases users with demand in the hundreds of tons per day range will find that UIG and UCG are able to offer supply solutions which are more attractively priced, and which contain more customer-friendly commercial terms than are available from alternative onsite gas producer/ suppliers. The UIG and UCG home office is located in the north-east United States, in eastern Pennsylvania. We are a little more than a one hour drive away from both New York City and Philadelphia. UCG regional representatives serve customers and potential customers in various markets in the US. UIG has representatives in several other countries. Contact us at our home office and we will respond as quickly as possible. |

| The industrial gases
industry has changed significantly in the past decade Mergers, acquisitions and restructuring of major industrial gases company operations have resulted in considerable consolidation of the industry. Many of the large industrial gas companies have made, and are continuing to make, significant cutbacks in engineering, construction, field service and customer service staff. Faced with rising prices and declining service levels, many industrial gases users have become increasingly interested in exploring alternative supply arrangements.
