GASUR

What GASUR does

GASUR (Comercial Gasista del Sur, S.L.) is a privately held Spanish limited company (S.L.) founded in 1995 and headquartered in Alcalá de Guadaíra, Sevilla, operating as a regional distributor of compressed and liquefied atmospheric gases. The company serves industrial, medical, food, and laboratory customers across the Sevilla and Huelva provinces, delivering products in pressurized cylinders via its own fleet of vehicles adapted for dangerous-goods transport. Since April 2021, GASUR has operated as the official authorized distributor (Agente Autorizado) of Messer Ibérica in its territory, which provides the backbone of its product portfolio.

The product mix spans industrial gases (argon and argon mixtures, oxygen, hydrogen, acetylene, propane, butane for welding, cutting, and heating), food-grade gas mixtures for modified atmosphere packaging (nitrogen, nitrogen+CO2), medical gases (synthetic air, nitrous oxide, CO2 for laparoscopy, medical liquid nitrogen), and high-purity laboratory gases for chromatography. Adjacent offerings include welding accessories (regulators, flow meters, torches, hoses, nozzles, safety valves) and a consumer-facing BalloonTime helium kit with a BalloonSet 50 add-on. The company does not disclose proprietary technology platforms, software products, or AI capabilities.

Commercially, GASUR runs a sales-led, relationship-driven go-to-market with direct phone, email, and contact-form channels, plus direct-to-customer delivery and on-site pickup at its Alcalá de Guadaíra facility. Revenue derives from gas transactions (transaction-fee model), annual cylinder rental contracts with a minimum one-year term (subscription/recurring), short-term per-day rentals with refundable deposits, hardware sales of accessories, and consumer helium kit purchases. Customers must register as Messer Ibérica clients and formalize a cylinder rental contract (CB) before deliveries begin, embedding switching friction into the revenue model. The company is privately held with no disclosed external investors, no funding rounds, and operates with a headcount of approximately 19 employees.

Revenue model

1. Gas Sales: Sale of industrial gases (argon, nitrogen, oxygen, hydrogen, acetylene, propane, butane), medical gases (synthetic air, nitrous oxide, CO2 for laparoscopy, liquid nitrogen), food gases for modified atmosphere packaging, and high-purity laboratory gases. Products are sold in pressurized cylinders.
2. Cylinder Rental (Container Bond): Cylinder rental contracts with minimum one-year validity. For short-term needs, daily rental is available with a deposit that is refunded upon return of empty cylinder. This creates recurring container-handling fees.
3. Accessories and Consumables: Sale of welding accessories including pressure regulators, flow meters, torches for acetylene and propane, hoses, nozzles, safety valves, and BalloonTime helium kits.

Scale indicators2 records

Recent moves4 records

Expansion highlights3 records

Broad incumbents

• Air Liquide España: Air Liquide is one of the world's largest industrial and medical gas suppliers with full Spanish operations. It competes with GASUR in industrial, medical, food, and laboratory gases but operates nationally with its own production plants, broader portfolio, and direct B2B contracts. Highly comparable on product/customer categories; differs sharply on scale and vertical integration.
• Nippon Gases España (formerly Praxair): Operating in Spain as Nippon Gases following the Praxair–Linde reorganisation, this player supplies bulk, cylinder, and on-site industrial and medical gases. Directly comparable product set to GASUR (industrial, medical, food, specialty) but a much larger national footprint competing for the same hospital and industrial accounts in Andalusia.
• Linde Gas España: Linde (formerly Praxair in Iberia) is another top-tier global industrial gas major with deep Spanish presence. It offers identical gas categories and end-markets as GASUR, plus on-site supply systems. Comparable as a competitor for large accounts in the same geographies, though serving all of Spain directly rather than via regional distributors.
• Carburos Metálicos (Air Products): Carburos Metálicos is the Spanish subsidiary of Air Products and a major industrial and medical gas supplier in Spain. Product overlap with GASUR is near-total (industrial, medical, food, specialty gases), but Carburos operates its own plants, bulk logistics, and national sales force competing head-on with GASUR's regional distribution model.
• SOL Group (Sol España): SOL Group is a European industrial and medical gas producer with Spanish operations providing comparable medical oxygen, specialty, and food gases. Competes with GASUR for healthcare and industrial accounts across Spain, though typically through larger direct contracts and on-site installations rather than regional distribution.

Direct peers

• Messer Ibérica: Messer Ibérica is the manufacturer-supplier that GASUR is contractually tied to, and also competes in industrial and medical gases across Spain via its own direct sales and other authorized agents in adjacent provinces. It is the closest direct peer because GASUR is essentially an extension of Messer's regional go-to-market model with overlapping product offerings.

Others

• Grupo Álava (Inycom) — gas analytics: Spanish distributor of laboratory and analytical equipment including chromatography systems. Adjacent to GASUR because laboratory customers purchase both high-purity gases (GASUR) and the chromatography instruments/standards they consume (Grupo Álava). Useful comparator for the laboratory vertical even though not a direct competitor.

Regional players

• CryoGas (regional Andalusian distributor): Independent Andalusian distributor of industrial, medical, and food gases operating with a regional distribution model similar to GASUR. Comparable scale, fleet-based logistics, and customer profile across Andalusia, providing a direct local competitor for the same set of manufacturing and healthcare accounts in overlapping provinces.
• Oxigenos del Sur: Regional industrial gas distributor also operating in southern Spain (Andalusia), serving similar welding, manufacturing, and healthcare customers with comparable cylinder gas products. Directly comparable business model (regional agent/distributor) and customer base, though likely focused on Granada/Málaga rather than Sevilla/Huelva where GASUR operates.
• Suministros Industriales Herrera: Andalusian regional supplier of welding gases, accessories, and consumables for industrial customers. Similar product subset to GASUR (primarily industrial welding gases, regulators, torches) in overlapping southern Spanish geography, serving comparable metal-fabrication and maintenance SMB customers.
