Over 60 Years of Growth Air Products was established in 1940 in Detroit, Michigan, on the strength of a simple, but then revolutionary, idea: the “on-site” concept of producing and selling industrial gases, primarily oxygen. At the time, most oxygen was sold as a highly compressed gas product in cylinders that weighed five times more than the gas itself. Air Products proposed building oxygen gas generating facilities adjacent to large-volume users, thereby reducing distribution costs. The concept of piping the gas directly from the generator to the point of use proved sound and technically solvable. Today, Air Products ranks 281st in sales and 276th in total assets among FORTUNE magazine’s April 2005 list of the 500 largest corporations in the U.S. Corporate headquarters are at the company’s 600-acre campus in eastern Pennsylvania’s Lehigh Valley, near Allentown; European headquarters are at Hersham, near London; and Asian headquarters are in Singapore, with offices in Tokyo and Hong Kong.
