Overview
Linde's business is lighter than air and bigger than everyone else's. The world's largest producer of industrial and medical gases, Linde also has an engineering unit that builds process plants for companies in the petrochemical, pharmaceutical, and gas manufacturing industries. In 2006, it acquired the UK gas producer BOC Group, making the company far and away the world's largest gas manufacturer. Following that deal, Linde separated its material handling division and sold it to Kohlberg Kravis Roberts and Goldman Sachs Capital Partners for about $5 billion. Following the deal, Linde's gas and engineering businesses each account for roughly half of the company's sales.
