Global Gases Group

What Global Gases Group does

Global Gases Group FZE is a Dubai-headquartered, founder-led private company founded in 2002 by Deepak Mehta to supply premium specialty gases to the worldwide offshore and medical sectors. The company manufactures and distributes industrial and medical gases — including diving gases (Heliox, Nitrox, Helionite), high-purity gases up to 6.0 Grade (99.9999%), cryogenic liquid helium and nitrogen, and customized welding shielding mixtures — through 12 wholly-owned gas distribution and transfill facilities across 12 countries (UAE, Malaysia, Australia, South Africa, Nigeria, UK, India, Malta, and others). Its core technical capability is the in-house design and manufacture of DNV 2.7-1 certified cylinder packs/quads (up to 64 cylinders) for offshore deployment, plus cryogenic liquid handling including ruggedized MRI-compatible dewars with super insulation and electrical pressurization.

The company's business model is direct B2B enterprise field sales to offshore subsea construction and IRM operators, MRI/NMR imaging facilities, and onshore/offshore construction firms requiring welding gases. Revenue streams are the sale of gases (cylinder/pack and cryogenic liquid forms) and the sale of related hardware (cylinder quads, dewars, transfer equipment). Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, consistent with customized B2B industrial supply contracts. The company holds ISO 9001, 14001, and 45001 certifications, DNV 2.7-1 certification for its cylinder packs, and IMCA supplier membership — collectively serving as qualification prerequisites for national oil company and major offshore contractor procurement.

Customer segments are diversified across three primary verticals: offshore oil & gas (diving, purging, leak detection gases), healthcare (liquid helium and cryogens for MRI/NMR operators), and construction (welding shielding mixtures). The company also serves laboratory and research customers requiring ultra-high-purity gases. Geographic coverage spans the Middle East, Southeast Asia, Africa, Oceania, and Europe, with each region served by a local manufacturing subsidiary. Marketing channels emphasize industry exhibitions (ADIPEC, OTC Asia, AOG, Gasworld Helium Summit, Arab Health) and direct enterprise sales, with a limited e-commerce storefront in Australia.
