What Tecnigas does

Tecnigas Srl is an Italian LPG and industrial technical gas distributor founded in 1979 and headquartered in Prevalle (Brescia). It sells and distributes GPL (LPG) in cylinders of 10, 15, 25, and 62 kg and in above-ground and underground tanks, alongside a full portfolio of industrial technical gases including oxygen, hydrogen, helium, nitrogen, argon, carbon dioxide, acetylene, and specialty mixtures for welding and food applications. The infrastructure comprises a 15,000 sqm facility with a 400 m³ storage depot, T-PED certified cylinders built to ISO 9809-1/2 standards, cryogenic storage tanks ranging from 6,000 to 30,000 liters, barcode-based cylinder tracking, and a My Tekgas mobile application for remote tank-level monitoring. Distribution is served by a company-owned delivery fleet and an authorized reseller network, with operations spanning Brescia, Verona, Mantova, Bergamo, Cremona, and Trento provinces plus the Lake Garda area.

The company serves residential, commercial, industrial, agricultural, food and beverage, metalworking/welding, and chemical/petrochemical customers. Its value proposition centers on a single-vendor gas supply model combining hardware, turnkey installation, scheduled and on-demand delivery, and recurring maintenance and technical assistance. Revenue is generated through hardware sales of LPG and technical gases, professional services for turnkey plant design and installation, subscription-style technical assistance and maintenance, and transportation. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; LPG tanks are typically provided under free loan agreements (comodato d'uso gratuito) with consumption-based billing. The company also supports customers in accessing regulatory benefits such as up to 90% excise reduction on qualifying industrial LPG installations and reduced 10% VAT for agricultural use.

Tecnigas markets through its company website and blog, organic social media (Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram), local sports sponsorships including ASD New Basket, Brescia Calcio Femminile, and Union Brescia, and a dealer recruitment program targeting hardware stores, fuel distributors, building centers, and camping shops. The company is privately held with no disclosed parent company, institutional investors, or private equity backing, and no published revenue figures. Recent strategic signals include a 2023 argon depot expansion, a January 2025 launch of the My Tekgas app, and a sequence of community sponsorships through 2026 indicating ongoing investment in brand and digital service layers.
