New “old” customer
The Krefeld-based firm Schages, one of the industry’s largest <strong>and</strong>
most flexible contract-cutting companies, is once again a Messer customer,
having also been supplied back in the Messer Griesheim days.
Since July 2008, Messer has been supplying nitrogen 5.0 for high
pressure laser cutting of aluminium <strong>and</strong> high alloy steels as well as
oxygen 3.5 for optimum laser flame cutting.
Messer has signed a long-term supply contract with Schages with
a two-year extension option. The contractually specified yearly requirement
comes to more than 700,000 cubic metres of liquid nitrogen 5.0
<strong>and</strong> more than 25,000 cubic metres of liquid oxygen.

High-protein
treats
Functional food refers to
value-added products that
not only taste <strong>and</strong> look good,
but are also supposed to have a positive
effect on our health. Protein Foods
Vejprnice (Czech Republic) produces highly concentrated
protein food, consisting of 100 per cent pure chicken egg protein. It is fat-, sugar<strong>and</strong>
cholesterol-free <strong>and</strong> contains only 220 kilojoules per 100 grams. After successful
tests by Messer in the Czech Republic, protein products frozen with liquid nitrogen
are now on sale in the shops. Freezing this protein food improves the quality.

Reference project with SPAR
In August of this year, SPAR opened its second
logistics centre – one of the most modern logistics
depots in Hungary – in Üllő near Budapest.
SPAR has opted to use the Siber technology,
developed jointly by Messer <strong>and</strong> the French company
Olivo, as an innovative cryogenic system
for cooling <strong>and</strong> freezing food in transport containers.
The 2,400 Siber containers used at SPAR
are suitable for transporting <strong>and</strong> storing both

refrigerated <strong>and</strong> frozen food, with flexible cold

in the Siber containers are filled with
dry ice in the SPAR logistics centre, thereby providing
direct refrigeration without any power
consumption. This collaboration between Messer
<strong>and</strong> SPAR is a reference project for the whole
South-East Europe region.

Messer supplies Slovakian
automotive suppliers
The Swiss-Slovakian company TS Tubes Systems,
which was established in Surany (Slovakia) at the
beginning of this year, is a supplier to the European
automotive industry. Its Swiss parent company,
Zobex AG based in Sarnen, decided to relocate
its brazing hose production to a former textile production
hall at this location in the south-west of
the country. Messer has been a partner of TS Tubes
Systems since the start of operations. The two partners
have signed a supply contract for 100,000 cubic
metres of liquid nitrogen <strong>and</strong> 3,500 cubic metres of
hydrogen. Production started in September 2008.
