Gas Servei

What Gas Servei does

Gas Servei is a Barcelona-based refrigerant gas supplier and HVAC&R products company founded in 1983, organized as GAS SERVEI, S.A. The company supplies a portfolio of more than 35 refrigerant gases anchored by its proprietary low-GWP RS series, including RS-20 (R-480A), RS-51 (R-470B), and RS-53 (R-470A) — non-flammable drop-in substitutes for legacy refrigerants R-134a, R-404A, and R-410A respectively, with RS-53 positioned as the only non-flammable direct substitute for R-410A on the market. Beyond refrigerants, Gas Servei markets the Thunder sub-brand of HVAC&R components and accessories (ball valves, thermostatic expansion valves, solenoid valves, copper fittings, CO2-rated accessories like Thunder HP130, and the welding-free Thunder Push & Go connection system), the VALUE line of Bluetooth-connected smart tools with a companion app for field data capture and reporting, and a refillable X-LITE container range from 1L to 24,300L. Supporting services include refrigerant analysis, technical advisory, container maintenance, and authorized waste management.

The business model combines branded product manufacturing/distribution with professional services. Revenue is generated primarily through one-time B2B product sales — refrigerants, components, containers, and tools — supplemented by fee-based services (analysis, advisory, waste management, container maintenance). Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Distribution is carried out through an authorized distributor network spanning more than 20 countries, with named partners including FRAMACOLD (France, 50+ points of sale) and CONSULTERMO (southern Portugal since 2009), supplemented by direct sales offices in Spain (Barcelona HQ, Zaragoza production, Madrid), a regional HQ in Mexico City with warehouses in Guadalajara and Tijuana, and a distribution hub in Casablanca, Morocco. An e-commerce platform is announced as forthcoming. Target customers are HVAC&R professionals (installers and technicians), distributors/resellers, and commercial/industrial end-user facilities navigating the transition to low-GWP refrigerants under F-Gas regulation.

Gas Servei holds ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, and Spanish authorized waste management certifications, and was named to the CEPYME 500 leaders list in 2019 and 2020. The company reports 30% year-over-year growth and a multilingual web presence across Spanish, English, French, Portuguese, and a Mexico-specific site. CEO Lluís Giralt López is a visible industry advocate on F-Gas regulation, reinforcing the company's positioning as a regulatory-expert-led supplier to the HVAC&R transition.

Direct peers

• Tazzetti: Italian-based manufacturer and distributor of refrigerants, fluorinated specialty gases, and blowing agents with European and LATAM distribution. Tazzetti is a direct competitor in low-GWP refrigerants and the European/Latin American HVAC&R value chain.
• Quimobásicos: Mexico's leading refrigerant gas producer (part of the Mexichem/Orbia group) supplying HFC and low-GWP refrigerants across Mexico and Latin America. Direct competitor in Gas Servei's Mexican and LATAM core market, with stronger local manufacturing scale.
• Refron: US-based refrigerant gas manufacturer and supplier (HFCs, HFOs, natural refrigerants) with nationwide distribution. Comparable in the refrigerant-only focus and HVAC&R customer base, though primarily US-geographic.
• A-Gas: A-Gas is a global specialty chemical and refrigerant supplier offering HFC, HFO, and natural refrigerants alongside refrigerant recovery and reclamation services. Highly comparable to Gas Servei on both the supply side (refrigerants + reclamation/waste) and customer base (HVAC&R contractors and distributors).
• Harp International: UK-based independent refrigerant gas distributor and reclaimer serving Europe, Middle East, and Africa. Closely comparable as a mid-sized independent specializing in refrigerants, reclaimed/recycled HFCs, and F-Gas compliance services.

Broad incumbents

• Linde Gas: Global industrial gas major with a refrigerant and specialty gas portfolio distributed across industrial and HVAC channels. Comparable as a large-scale refrigerant supplier, though Linde's focus is broader across industrial gases, not HVAC&R-specific.
• Chemours (Opteon): Chemours' Opteon brand is one of the dominant low-GWP refrigerant portfolios globally, sold to OEMs and through HVAC&R distributors. A direct substitute competitor for the RS range, backed by a large US-listed chemicals company.
• Honeywell (Refrigerants / Solstice): Global chemicals major with the Solstice and Genetron low-GWP HFO refrigerant franchises. Competes head-on with Gas Servei's RS range via OEM-licensed HFO solutions but operates at vastly greater scale and through different (often direct) channels.
• Arkema (Forane Refrigerants): French specialty chemicals major producing the Forane range of refrigerants including low-GWP HFC/HFO blends. A broad incumbent competitor with deep European roots overlapping Gas Servei's core market.
• Daikin (Refrigerants / Chemicals): World's largest HVAC&R manufacturer, vertically integrated into refrigerant production (including HFC-32 and low-GWP options). Competes with Gas Servei both on the refrigerant chemistry side and as a system OEM that influences the choice of refrigerant spec.
