How We Can Help
What sectors do we
operate in?
Our gases play an important role in several sectors of industry and our society.
Depending on the application, they make processes safer, more effective and efficient, enhancing the competitiveness and quality of service of our customers.
Food and Beverage
Multigas works closely with all sections of the food and beverage industry to develop and deliver gas solutions that enable producers to meet food safety standards and exceed the expectations of today’s customers. Multigas's food-grade products are Carbon dioxide and Nitrogen in bulk and cylinder form and as gas mixtures. A Hazard Analysis of Critical Control Points (HACCP system) is in place and Multigas' Food Safety System is certified to FSSC 22000. Primary applications include beverage production and distribution as well as modified atmosphere packaging and cooling. Dry ice, at a temperature below 70 degrees Celcius, is used to cool containers for food preservation during transport. Please do enquire about any other needs your sector might require. We will be more than happy to assist you.
Healthcare
Multigas operates in the healthcare sector through the production and importation of medicinal gases and other ancillary services including the dispensing of Medicinal gases through its licensed Dispensary. Multigas produces Medicinal Oxygen, GMP Nitrogen and Medical Grade Air. In its portfolio, it also has a number of Malta-registered BOC products including Nitrous Oxide and Entonox. Multigas holds Manufacturing and Wholesale Dealer licences for medical gases as well as a Marketing Authorisation for medicinal Oxygen. It undergoes regular audits by the Malta Medicines Authority to ensure compliance of its systems to Good Manufacturing/Distribution Practice. Products are supplied to Healthcare entities and patients as well as to Pharmaceutical manufacturers.

A vast range of industrial gases can be supplied to various customer requirements. Our aim is to improve your productivity by offering solutions for your different needs adhering to all safety regulations to safeguard our employees and customers. With more than 90 years of experience in the gas industry, our professional team is at your disposal to offer you the best support and assistance at the highest possible standards.
Industrial sectors categories
Aquaculture
In recent years aquaculture with its complex onshore and offshore fish farming systems has become the production of choice when it comes to meeting the rapidly rising global demand for fish. Controlling oxygen levels is the key to enhancing a fish farm’s stocking density, to keeping it disease-free and the productivity and overall profitability high. Perfectly balanced oxygen saturation: - increases fish growth rates even on higher stocking densities - keeps fish healthy and reduces mortality - improves feed conversion ratio (FCR) for feed cost savings - raises specific growth rate for increased profitability
Beverage Industry
Different gases and their mixtures are used to improve the characteristic of many beverages from wine to beer and soft drinks. Carbon dioxide gas is forcefully dissolved into the liquid using pressure — this is how mass-produced soda, sparkling water, as well as some beer and sparkling alcoholic drinks, are made.
Cryogenic Food Freezing
Cryogenic food freezing uses liquid nitrogen to effectively freeze the food products. This helps food manufacturers to maximise production efficiencies while minimising costs. The use of cryogenic gas at very low operating temperatures of -80ºC provides a high heat transfer rate that ensures quick freezing times. Cryogenic freezing also maintains the natural quality of food. When a product is frozen, ice crystals are formed. The smaller and more evenly distributed the crystals, the better the quality and taste of the frozen product. The only way to ensure that small crystals form uniformly throughout the food product, both inside and outside the cells, is to quick-freeze the food at cryogenic temperatures.
Electronics Manufacturing
Producing an integrated circuit requires over 30 different process gases for etching, deposition, oxidation, doping, and inerting applications. The range of gases used is broader than in virtually any other industry. Gases are a big component of semiconductor manufacturing because gases can create the chemical reactions needed to shape a semiconductor’s electrical properties. Due to its complexity, the gases used need to be precise and accurate at every stage of the manufacturing process to configure the semiconductor properly. As the semiconductor industry continues to grow and evolve, so do the gases used in the process. Some of the core gases used in semiconductor manufacturing include nitrogen, oxygen, argon and hydrogen.

Dry Ice
Your business relies on top-quality products for blast chilling, flash freezing, and modified atmosphere packaging. Our reliable dry ice supply ensures your food and beverage products always meet the highest quality standards.
Food Industry
Gases and gas mixtures are used to reduce the growth of bacteria and prevent discoloration, and retard the spoilage mechanisms that affect product quality, and are mostly used when packing fresh produce, raw meats (including poultry and fish), and also when packaging bakery and snack foods, such as chips and crackers. Gases used in the packaging process reduce oxidation and the growth of anaerobic organisms (organisms and germs that can survive and grow where there is no oxygen.)
Healthcare
Multigas works with healthcare professionals at public and private hospitals and clinics, supplying medical gases to enhance patient care and focusing on developing the best possible solutions for the Maltese Islands. One recent example of this was the doubling of oxygen storage tanks at Mater Dei Hospital and the introduction of bulk liquid oxygen supply to Gozo General Hospital during the Covid pandemic, ensuring the hospitals were well equipped to provide the necessary care. Multigas also supplies medicinal oxygen directly to patients through its licensed dispensary.
Metal Fabrications
Nowadays metal is being formed and joined in new ways which were not available in a few decades ago. Multigas has both the gas mixtures and the technical knowledge to help you meet the expectations of today. Multigas supplies Malta and Gozo with the most comprehensive range of industrial gases, speciality gases, safety equipment and associated products. We offer a full range of premium shielding gas mixtures, as well a comprehensive selection of pure, fuel and oxidant gases that support the key applications of our manufacturing customers. Our clients can be confident of receiving an uninterrupted supply of gas, technical services and associated products to suit their needs.
Pharmaceuticals
Pharmaceuticals laboratories aim for precision and often rely on high-purity process and calibration gas mixtures to achieve this. This is especially true as instrumentation and analysis needs become more sophisticated. As a leading supplier of specialty gases, Multigas can help you meet your productivity aims by delivering precisely what you need, when and where you need it. Multigas helps to make your laboratory more efficient through high-purity gases and gas mixtures, precision-engineered gas supply equipment and expert services.
Refrigeration and Air Conditioning
Refrigeration is important for many industrial processes including pharmaceutical, chemical and natural gas production. In our daily lives, we require refrigeration for air-conditioning units in our cars, offices, shops and public buildings
Wine Making Industry
Oxidation, bacteria, and spoilage are a winemaker’s worst enemies, threatening profits and sales. Nitrogen can be used to help prevent oxidation, which occurs when wine is exposed to too much oxygen. And the use of nitrogen throughout various stages of the wine-making process helps preserve color, flavour, and aroma of any wine. Pumps, hoses and bottles can be flushed with nitrogen both before and after filling. Nitrogen can also be applied to partially filled barrels or tanks to displace oxygen.
