Massy Gas Products

Expanding Capacity and Advancing Innovation Across the Caribbean

Solidifying Regional Leadership in Industrial and Medical Gases Through Strategic Acquisition, Digital Transformation, and a Steadfast Commitment to Safety.

In the dynamic world of industrial gases, Massy Gas Products (Trinidad) continues to set the standard for operational excellence, technological innovation, and sustainable growth across the Caribbean. Part of the expansive Massy Group, the company serves as a critical supplier of oxygen, nitrogen, argon, and carbon dioxide to industries and healthcare providers throughout the region—and increasingly into Latin America.

Since Business View last profiled the company, Massy Gas has undergone a period of exceptional transformation. Chief among these milestones was the 2023 acquisition of Air Liquide Trinidad and Tobago, a strategic move that strengthened its supply chain, deepened backward integration, and solidified the company’s export platform.

“By purchasing Air Liquide Trinidad and Tobago, we deepened our supply chain and reduced dependency,” explains Marlon Millet, CEO of Massy Gas Products. “That integration has created real efficiency and positioned us strongly for export growth.”

Following the acquisition, the two entities were fully integrated under a single management framework by April 2025, marking the completion of one of the company’s most ambitious operational transformations to date. The merged entity now operates with improved efficiencies, streamlined logistics, and a unified approach to customer service and market development.

At the same time, the company expanded its CO₂ plant capacity by 25 percent, capitalizing on Trinidad’s access to competitively priced ammonia feedstock. The expansion has not only improved production efficiency but also bolstered Massy Gas’s export competitiveness, giving it a cost advantage in key regional markets.

Today, the company exports to 30 markets throughout the Caribbean Basin and South America, supplying industrial, commercial, and medical clients with vital gases that power manufacturing, energy, and healthcare systems.

Digital Transformation Driving Efficiency and Safety

Massy Gas’s recent journey has been marked by a comprehensive digital transformation initiative, designed to enhance automation, improve safety, and strengthen quality control.

Internally, the company upgraded its ERP system and integrated digital dashboards that provide real-time performance visibility across its operations. These systems have significantly reduced manual work, eliminated duplication, and improved overall reporting accuracy.

One of the most notable innovations is the introduction of Track, a digital cylinder tracking system that provides full visibility into cylinder movement, maintenance status, and customer allocation.

“Our automation and digital tracking initiatives give us visibility across every cylinder, every tank, and every customer site,” Millet notes. “That improves efficiency, quality, and—most importantly—safety.”

The company also installed GPS tracking on delivery tankers and implemented remote monitoring of customer inventory levels, particularly for bulk oxygen clients. These smart systems automatically signal when tank levels approach minimum thresholds, ensuring reliable and proactive replenishment.

Safety remains the company’s guiding principle. With enhanced digital reporting, Massy Gas can now identify emerging risks, manage action plans, and monitor compliance with greater accuracy. The result is a safer working environment for employees and a higher level of reliability for customers.

“Safety first—always,” Millet emphasizes. “Every investment in technology ultimately supports safety and quality.”

Navigating Local Market Realities

While Trinidad remains a key industrial hub for the region, the country’s current natural gas constraints have posed challenges for many manufacturers. Massy Gas, whose nitrogen customers include major industrial operations at the Point Lisas Industrial Estate, has been closely monitoring these developments.

“There’s a challenge in the local market with natural gas supply,” Millet explains. “But we’re optimistic. By 2027, new upstream projects are expected to come online that will ease those constraints.”

Despite the headwinds, Massy Gas’s diversified export portfolio has provided stability and resilience. With a strong foothold in 30 export destinations, the company continues to balance local supply with international demand, ensuring a steady flow of product and revenue across multiple economies.

Resilient Supply Chain Across the Region

Global supply chains have undergone turbulence over the past several years, but Massy Gas reports that conditions have largely stabilized since the pandemic. The company continues to face increased shipping and import costs in some markets, but the regional trade network it serves—spanning the Caribbean and Latin America—offers significant logistical advantages.

“Our supply chain is much stronger now,” Millet notes. “We still experience some cost pressures, but overall reliability has improved, especially within the Caribbean network.”

Investing in Capacity and Local Talent

Massy Gas’s growth is supported by an active capital investment program aimed at expanding production and strengthening its long-term export capabilities. The company’s 2025 CO₂ expansion was just one of several initiatives in progress, with feasibility studies underway for additional argon capacity increases and continued CO₂ production upgrades.

Operating from Trinidad, the company’s workforce is entirely local—an achievement that underscores its commitment to national development and skills training. Massy Gas Trinidad is part of a broader portfolio that includes operations in Jamaica, Guyana, and Colombia, but the core of its human capital remains homegrown.

“We take great pride in running a world-class operation with local talent,” Millet describes. “Our team in Trinidad drives success across 30 markets.”

Community, ESG, and the Next Generation

Beyond its operational success, Massy Gas continues to make a significant impact through its Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) programs. The company’s community outreach efforts are aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals, emphasizing education, youth development, and social equity.

Massy Gas has adopted two local schools, supporting literacy programs, facility upgrades, and extracurricular development. The company also contributes to children’s homes and community-based projects, providing financial and in-kind support for initiatives that improve lives at the grassroots level.

Perhaps most impactful is the company’s ongoing internship program, which offers practical work experience to students and recent graduates. These internships provide exposure to industrial operations, engineering, logistics, and business management—and often lead to full-time employment.

“We’re investing in our young people because they’re the future of this business,” Millet says. “It’s about building capacity for the next generation.”

This commitment to workforce development is particularly timely, as industries across the globe face demographic shifts and skill shortages. Massy Gas’s proactive approach ensures a pipeline of qualified, motivated professionals ready to take the reins in years to come.

Looking Ahead: Digitization, AI, and Cybersecurity

With eyes firmly on the future, Massy Gas is advancing its digital roadmap—expanding automation, exploring artificial intelligence applications, and maintaining a strong focus on cybersecurity.

“We plan to continue integrating digitization into every aspect of our business,” Millet explains. “Automation, AI, and data-driven safety systems will help us improve operations, quality, and efficiency.”

In an era of increasing cyber threats, the company has invested heavily in both technology and training. Regular vulnerability assessments by third-party firms identify areas for improvement, while quarterly employee cybersecurity training ensures awareness and vigilance.

“Cybersecurity is non-negotiable,” Millet emphasizes. “We conduct regular assessments and training to protect our people, our data, and our customers’ trust.”

A Sustainable Path Forward

As Massy Gas Products looks ahead to the next phase of its evolution, its strategy remains clear: expand capacity, strengthen exports, and enhance digital and operational excellence, all while keeping safety, community, and sustainability at the core of its mission.

Through continuous investment, innovation, and empowerment, the company is shaping a resilient and technologically advanced industrial gas sector in the Caribbean. From its roots in Trinidad to its expanding reach across South America, Massy Gas Products stands as a model of what regional leadership looks like in a modern, responsible, and forward-thinking enterprise.

“With expansion, efficiency, and empowerment at the forefront,” Millet concludes, “Massy Gas Products is charting a course for sustained growth across the Caribbean and beyond.”
