Centre of Expertise - Cold grinding & Recycling
Messer operates a highly-specialised technical centre for cold grinding in Krefeld, Germany. Due to the extreme cold temperatures of liquid nitrogen thermoplastics and elastomers become brittle. Very fine particle sizes can be achieved and in addition process volumes increased. When it comes to spices a loss of aroma or flavour can be prevented. Fine grinding of synthetic materials or natural products is an art which the Messer Group has mastered.

Messer is the world’s largest family-run specialist for gases used in industry, e.g. in the production of fine powders by cold grinding, environmental protection and recycling, medicine, the food and beverage sector, welding and cutting technology, 3D printing, construction, and research and science. Under the ‘Messer – Gases for Life’ brand, the company markets products and services in Europe, Asia and the Americas. Its approximately 11,000 employees* collaborate in a family business that focuses on diversity and mutual respect.

In most industrial processes, gases are just as important as water and electricity and play a major role in their decarbonization – through the use of green hydrogen, for example. Messer offers one of the largest product portfolios in the market and develops and optimizes application technologies for gases in state-of-the-art competence centers.

As a pharmaceutical company, Messer supplies medical and pharmaceutical gases and turnkey solutions and has a proven track record as a reliable provider of vital products – in pandemic situations, for example.

Founded in 1898, the company’s headquarters are located in Bad Soden, near Frankfurt, Germany.

In 2021, Messer generated an consolidated sales of 3.5 billion* euros.
