François Jackow, CEO of Air Liquide, said, “Quarter after quarter, Air Liquide stays the course and continues to achieve a very solid financial performance. We recorded an increase in sales … and our operating margin continues to improve, perfectly in line with our ambition for a +200 basis point increase over two years.” 

He added, “In addition, our investment backlog achieved a new record high. In a market environment that remains uncertain, the Group relies more than ever on diversified growth engines, particularly in the electronics and energy transition sectors.”
