Executive summary
Energas Limited is a substantial UK industrial gas distributor operating as a subsidiary of the Air Liquide group, with £63m turnover and strong gross margins of approximately 69% that are consistent with sector norms for packaged gas distribution. The company faces revenue headwinds likely linked to softening demand in its core metal fabrication market, but maintains robust profitability and a well-invested asset base across 15 UK sites. Significant board turnover during 2025 suggests ongoing strategic reorganisation within the parent group, and the company's competitive position is strengthened by group backing but tempered by single-market concentration and tight working capital dynamics typical of a group subsidiary structure.
