What Coregas does

Coregas is an Australian-owned manufacturer and distributor of industrial, medical, and specialty gases operating across Australia and New Zealand, founded in 1974 and headquartered in Sydney. The company produces gases via cryogenic air separation, operating the largest air separation unit in the Southern Hemisphere at Port Kembla, NSW, and a newly commissioned Cosmodyne ASU in Brisbane (March 2026) built by Nikkiso. Its product portfolio spans acetylene, argon, carbon dioxide, helium, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, LPG, plus calibration gases, laser gases, refrigerant gases, food-grade gases, and beer and hospitality gases, available as compressed cylinders, cryogenic bulk liquids, or via managed supply services with proprietary telemetry monitoring.

Coregas serves seven primary customer verticals: industrial manufacturing, healthcare and medical, mining, laboratory and research, food and beverage, aviation, and automotive. Distribution is handled through a 18-branch direct network across Australia and New Zealand, over 500 distribution partners, and a retail channel through Bunnings for the Trade N Go Gas sub-brand targeting small business and consumer end-users. The company is privately held and operates as a member of the Nippon Sanso Holdings Group following acquisition by the Japanese global industrial gas conglomerate.

Revenue is generated primarily through usage-based product sales of gases in cylinder or bulk liquid form, supplemented by subscription-style medical gas supply contracts and managed supply services with telemetry-driven automatic reordering. The company holds long-standing regulatory credentials including ISO/IEC 17025 (since 1997), ISO 17034 (since 2002), and ISO 13485, which are gating requirements for medical, calibration, and reference material customers. Coregas has recently extended into hydrogen mobility infrastructure, launching Australia's first heavy-transport hydrogen refueller in 2023 and supporting New Zealand's first Green Hydrogen Express Refueller in 2024.

• Supagas: Australian supplier of industrial, hospitality, LPG, and specialty gases via cylinders and bulk; a direct national competitor to Coregas in the same product and channel categories.
• Air Liquide Australia: Local arm of the global industrial-gas major producing and distributing industrial, medical, and specialty gases in Australia, directly overlapping Coregas's market and offering.

Broad incumbents

• Linde plc: Global industrial-gas leader with air separation, bulk, cylinder, and hydrogen operations; a much larger incumbent whose portfolio broadly overlaps Coregas's activities.
• Air Products: Global producer of industrial gases and hydrogen with large-scale air separation and merchant gas supply, overlapping Coregas's core gas manufacturing and clean-hydrogen ambitions.
• Messer Group: Large privately held industrial-gases company supplying oxygen, nitrogen, argon, and specialty gases globally, comparable to Coregas's manufacturing and distribution model.

Others

• Matheson Tri-Gas: US industrial and specialty gas company that is also part of the Nippon Sanso Holdings group, sharing parentage and a comparable gas manufacturing/distribution model in a different geography.

Regional players

• Nippon Gases (Europe): European industrial and medical gas business within the Nippon Sanso group; comparable offering and business model but serving a different geography than Coregas's ANZ market.
• Elgas: Australian bulk and cylinder LPG supplier with a national delivery network; overlaps Coregas's LPG and gas-distribution business within the same ANZ territory.
