Industrial Gases.

The Westfalen Group produces and sells more than 300 technical gases and gas mixtures for virtually all applications in industry and the trades, food production, laboratories, pharmaceuticals and medicine. These include the air gases nitrogen, oxygen and argon, which are produced in three of the company's own air separation plants, as well as acetylene and hydrogen. Refrigerants and heat transfer media for cooling and air-conditioning technology complete the extensive product range.

Liquefied gas.

With its Westfalengas brand, the Westfalen Group is one of Germany's leading suppliers of liquefied gas. Westfalengas is suitable for more than 2,000 applications: as off-grid thermal energy for heating private homes, factory buildings and agricultural buildings, for thermal processes in industry and commerce, and as environmentally friendly energy carrier for cars or forklifts.

To the energy solutions

Electricity-based heat.

The energy transition can come: with NGC.Tec as a building block for electricity-based solutions, the Westfalen Group has broadened its footprint in the heating sector. The subsidiary implements cross-sector (electricity, heating, cooling and mobility) energy systems from a single source – and connects them intelligently.

Mobility.

With around 260 stations, the Westfalen Group has the largest network of independent branded service stations in Germany - with the focus on North Rhine-Westphalia and Lower Saxony. The company is currently developing selected, strategic stations into mobility hubs - which increasingly also bundle sustainable and digital service offerings in one place. Westfalen is actively helping to shape the mobility revolution and is increasingly focusing on alternative drive energies: its product portfolio already includes charging power from 100% green electricity, hydrogen, and a prospective switch from LNG to bio-LNG and the offer of bio-CNG. In addition, Westfalen convinces with store and gastronomy, vehicle maintenance, a digitalized "Mobility Hub" and the fillibri app.

Mobility and service stations

Hydrogen.

Westfalen has many years of experience in the field of hydrogen and has been reliably supplying companies, industry and research institutions with this sustainable energy carrier for over 40 years. Back in 2016, for example, the family-owned company was one of the first in NRW to set up a stationary hydrogen filling station. Westfalen has set itself the goal of significantly expanding its hydrogen activities in the coming years and establishing itself as the preferred partner for European SMEs in the decentralized production and delivery of green hydrogen. This includes expanding the network of mobile and stationary hydrogen filling stations, primarily for refueling commercial vehicles.

Hygrogen for the energy transition

Respiratory Homecare.

Westfalen Medical, with currently around 450 employees in Germany and the Netherlands, is active in the full care of people with respiratory diseases. The company offers innovative equipment technologies and services in the fields of oxygen, sleep, nebulizer and ventilation therapy as well as secretion management, and its commitment contributes to a significant improvement in the quality of life of the people supplied.
