In 2025, businesses in the industrial gas and energy sectors need to act decisively rather than transition slowly and, to do this, many need to go “back to basics”.

“In the current difficult economic situation, this is essential – not just for us but for our customers as well,” he said. “For Nippon Gases, this means focusing on safety, compliance, and quality as top priorities. These are the foundations of our reputation, and it’s crucial we don’t lose focus on them, especially during challenging times.”
Desmet emphasised the importance of this based on the economic challenges in 2024, which he expects will persist into 2025. For Nippon Gases, its business plan is now being led by its new President Raoul Giudici, following Eduardo Gil’s retirement in July 2024.
