The Gazechim Group, a well-established player in the distribution of liquefied gases, announced a successful acquisition of liquefied chlorine gas distribution business of Brenntag Química in Spain, effective April 10, 2025. This move will see Grupo Gas Iberica, the Spanish subsidiary of the Gazechim Group, take over the responsibility for the distribution of chlorine gas across Spain.

This acquisition marks a pivotal moment for Grupo Gas Iberica, instantly elevating its position as a major player in the competitive Spanish liquefied chlorine gas market.

Grupo Gas Iberica brings to the table the Gazechim Group’s extensive experience of over 80 years in the distribution of liquefied gases. The Spanish subsidiary prides itself on providing responsive and high-quality service, underpinned by a deep understanding of the intricacies involved in handling and distributing liquefied gases safely and efficiently. The company’s commitment to offering tailored solutions that meet the specific needs of its clientele, while maintaining the highest standards of product quality and safety, remains paramount.

The acquisition strategically strengthens Grupo Gas Iberica’s role as a key supplier of liquefied chlorine gas within the crucial water treatment sector. This includes the production of drinking water, the supply of process water for diverse industrial applications, and the treatment of wastewater. By consolidating its position in this essential market, Grupo Gas Iberica is set to contribute significantly to Spain’s water management infrastructure.

Furthermore, this transaction opens up exciting new avenues for Grupo Gas Iberica, particularly in the burgeoning swimming pool water treatment market. Leveraging the Gazechim Group’s 80 years of established expertise in this sector within France, Grupo Gas Iberica is well-equipped to capitalize on the growth potential of the Spanish swimming pool market. This expansion represents a natural progression for the company, allowing it to diversify its offerings and tap into a new customer segment.

This strategic acquisition is further underpinned by Gazechim Group’s commitment to strengthening its logistical infrastructure. Following significant investments made in 2024, this acquisition represents a key step in enhancing the company’s logistical capacity to support both current growth and future geographical expansion. Grupo Gas Iberica will continue to operate the chlorine distribution from the Brenntag plant located in Seville, complementing its existing main distribution platform in Flix. This dual-platform approach will ensure enhanced efficiency and responsiveness in serving customers across Spain.

The move promises enhanced service, a broader product portfolio, and a continued focus on safety and quality for customers across Spain.
