We are a general gas company with a reputation of more than 79 years of technological innovation and business expansion. Our business is what is known as "industrial gas", but our field of endeavor is extensive and constantly growing. If we were to liken it to a single tree, we would say we have grown with the times by having gas technology as our roots, our industrial, medical, chemical and lifestyle sectors as our broadly spreading branches, and a diverse range of peripheral technologies and services as our leaves.

Management Philosophy
Concentrate member companies’
knowledge and expertise
on the creation and development of businesses
that concern air, water, and the planet in general
in the spirit of entrepreneurship
that contributes to society.
The words "air" and "water" in our company name represent a sincere management philosophy as well as the essence of our enterprise. As we work to extract useful elements such as air and water from resources of the Earth and then return them in a natural form, we proudly function as a corporate entity that is appropriate to the new century, a time when care of the global environment has become a leitmotiv for the entire world. The technologies for air and water have created avenues for environmental conservation and restoration, in the process creating new business sectors and contributing to the modern world.
Ours is a consortium of approximately 160 companies. We will continue to apply our capability as a group to the specialized technologies and services of each company, enhance our corporate value through continual growth while providing solution services that cope with the needs of the customers and the times, and by implementing mergers and acquisitions.
