This market includes cryogenic and bulk gas transport and storage, scientific research facilities and universities.

As disciplines such as cryogenics continue to expand, the demand for bespoke, high quality gas containment systems also grows, driven by safety and control requirements. The growth of gas management systems within the higher education sector is being driven by the expansion of vocational and practical courses nationally and internationally.
