Steel
Serving Steel and Metal Industries
A crucial aspect in the steel and metal industries’ operations is a reliable supply of high-quality industrial gases like oxygen, nitrogen, and argon. Customers are always looking to upgrade their position in the market, by improving quality, generating a greater yield, and reducing costs and the impact on the environment.
GIGC is a supplier of choice for all types of welding, cutting and shielding gases required by the metal processing and fabrication industries. Since the establishment of Kuwait Oxygen & Acetylene Co. in 1953, a subsidiary of GIGC in UAE, the company has focused on catering to the requirements of this important- driven sector. Over the years we have built a diverse portfolio of customers ranging from major ship repair companies, pressure vessel manufacturers and heavy steel industries in the Gulf region.
The metal processing and fabrication sector is one of the largest consumers of industrial gases and gas mixtures. It encompasses these of pure gases such as oxygen, acetylene, argon, as well as a wide range of gas mixtures with varying compositions to meet customer requirements. The industry ranges from small roadside weld shops to the largest fabrication yards making sea liners and heavy industrial steel structures for petrochemical plants.
GIGC has the solution to these concerns. We offer our extensive expertise in on-site supply schemes, pipeline systems, and a distribution network encompassing ten countries across the Middle East.

Supply Options
At GIGC we believe in providing the best available supply packages to suit your business requirements. Depending on the size of the business activity, we install cryogenic storage tanks connected through ambient air vaporizers to acetylene station or gas mixing units with gas distribute through a pipeline to the workstations. Other options available are supplies through manifold racks, portable liquid containers or high-pressure cylinders.
Mobile Distribution System (MDS) was designed, developed, launched and patented by another GIGC Subsidiary company Arabian Industrial Gases Co. MDS is composed of one 180 liter liquid oxygen container, one 8 cylinder acetylene rack and two individual manifolds, one for oxygen and the other for acetylene, the five outlets for each gas. Each manifold is provide with master regulator, and each outlet point is conveniently equipped with flash back arrester. The MDS is safety mounted on steel frame with all required safety measures.
