Why Invest in Air Products?

The “on-site” business pioneered by Air Products generates secured and steady cashflow. It calls for long-term take-or-pay contracts not subject to price, volume and variable cost fluctuations. Air Products has become the most stable and profitable global industrial gas company due to its greater proportion of the on-site business and the industry leading profit margin. Supported by the pristine balance sheet and strong cash flow, Air Products can combine this stability and profitability with substantial growth potential by deploying capital.
