Shanghai, China – [October 13, 2025] 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 approx. three million cubic meters 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.

Speaking at the signing ceremony, attended by senior leaders from both companies, His Excellency Mr. Saad Sherida Al-Kaabi, President and CEO of QatarEnergy, said, “Messer is a leading global supplier of helium with a strong reputation and diverse assets.
