Linde in Australia is certainly the smaller of the pair, specialising in different products to BOC... I wonder how the ACCC will view this, as there will only be Air Liquide left in the market with any scale...
.. it could easily be viewed as anti-competitive...
I have always wanted to get into an industry where the raw materials cost nothing... and you can sell them for shedloads...
... Air = Free..
They lose all their money in the bottles that keep disappearing.. and larger companies buying their own liquid nitrogen generation units... meaning they sell a service not a product..
