DOHA, Qatar, Sept. 29, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Messer, the largest privately held industrial gases company, announced today the signing of a landmark long-term sales and purchase agreement (SPA) with QatarEnergy for the annual supply of 100 million cubic feet of high-purity helium. The product will be sourced from QatarEnergy's world-class facilities in Ras Laffan and delivered to Messer customers across the world.

This milestone agreement marks Messer's first direct long-term partnership with QatarEnergy, one of the world's largest producers of helium. By diversifying sources and strengthening supply chains, Messer is ensuring its customers benefit from enhanced reliability and long-term security of supply of this rare gas.
