Brands

• Pacshield: Argon shielding gas product line including Pacshield 5/2 Argon Mix and Pacshield 80/20 Argon Mix for welding applications.

Products and services

• Acetylene Industrial acetylene gas used primarily for oxy-fuel cutting and brazing applications. Burns at temperatures up to 3,500°C when combined with oxygen, making it the preferred fuel gas for metal fabrication and welding. Sold to distributors serving manufacturing, fabrication, and automotive workshops.
• Argon Pure High-purity inert argon gas used as a shielding gas for TIG and MIG welding processes. Provides stable arc characteristics and prevents oxidation of the weld pool, essential for welding stainless steel, aluminium, and other non-ferrous metals. Sold to distributors serving fabrication workshops.
• Carbon Dioxide Industrial CO2 gas used for beverage carbonation, refrigeration systems (R-744 refrigerant), welding applications, and modified atmosphere packaging in food preservation. Sold to distributors serving food, hospitality, and beverage industries.
• Nitrogen Industrial nitrogen gas used in food and beverage preservation through modified atmosphere packaging, cryogenic food freezing, automotive tyre inflation, controlled atmosphere storage for agriculture, and as an inert shielding gas in various industrial processes. Sold to distributors across multiple end-use sectors.
• Oxygen Industrial oxygen gas used in oxy-acetylene welding and cutting, medical applications, and as an oxidizing agent in various industrial processes including combustion support and wastewater treatment. Sold to distributors serving manufacturing, fabrication, and industrial customers.
• Pacshield 5/2 Argon Mix Proprietary premium shielding gas blend containing 92% Argon, 5% CO2, and 2% O2, designed for MIG welding across stainless steel, mild steel, and aluminium alloys.

Expansion highlights5 records

Emerging players

• Aussie Oxy & Gas: Independent Australian gas supplier specialising in welding and industrial gases with regional delivery and distributor support. Comparable to Pacific Gas in targeting independent retailers and SMB welding customers, with overlapping SKU set.
• Weldclass: Australian welding equipment and consumables distributor that also sells shielding gases and gas mixtures to fabrication and trade customers. Overlaps Pacific Gas's welding/blend product category and shares the SMB hardware-store channel.

Broad incumbents

• Iwatani Corporation: Japanese industrial gas specialist expanding into Asia-Pacific with hydrogen, helium, and industrial-gas offerings including welding shields. Competes with Pacific Gas in the welding shielding gas and specialty blends category, especially for industrial fabrication customers.
• Air Liquide Australia: Australian subsidiary of Air Liquide, supplying industrial, medical, and specialty gases with national delivery and on-site generation. Directly comparable to Pacific Gas on product range, but with substantially larger scale, multinational technical support, and integrated production assets.
• BOC Australia (Linde Gas): The largest industrial gas supplier in Australia and a division of Linde plc, offering oxygen, nitrogen, argon, acetylene, CO2, and specialty blends with full air-separation, distribution, and on-site generation. Direct competitor across Pacific Gas's full SKU set, with deeper capital, broader national infrastructure, and longer-standing distributor contracts.
• Nippon Gases Australia: Australian arm of Nippon Gases (formerly Praxair/Linde regional operations) supplying industrial and specialty gases with on-site supply, bulk delivery, and cylinder distribution. Directly comparable product range and B2B distributor model, with multinational backing.

Regional players

• Tyack Industrial Gases: Smaller Western Australia-based industrial and specialty gas supplier serving mining, fabrication, and agriculture. Comparable to Pacific Gas on product mix and cylinder-distribution model, but focused on a single Australian state.
• Adelaide Gas Company: South Australia-focused industrial and medical gas supplier with cylinder distribution and refill services. Comparable to Pacific Gas on product range and distributor-led model, but operates in a more limited geographic footprint.

Direct peers

• Coregas: Wesfarmers-owned Australian industrial and specialty gas supplier producing oxygen, nitrogen, argon, acetylene, CO2, and shielding-gas blends, with national distribution. The closest direct competitor to Pacific Gas in Australia, with a comparable distributor-channel model and overlapping SKU range.
• Supagas: Pacific Gas's parent entity and fellow Australian industrial gas supplier under the global Supagas group, offering LPG and industrial gases to residential, commercial, and industrial customers. Operates in adjacent product categories (LPG, helium) with a national network and shares corporate DNA with Pacific Gas.
