Growth in Asia prompts A-Gas move

SINGAPORE: A-Gas is relocating its Singapore business to a new site to cater for increased refrigerant recovery volumes from Singapore, Hong Kong and Thailand.

Following the move in September, A-Gas says it will continue to expand its product and service offering in Asia, as well as further developing its recovery network across the region. The new site in Singapore will become a centre of excellence, a hub for engineering, recovery and reclamation processes, SQE and training.

A-Gas acquired Singapore-based business VEMAC in 2019. The company, established in 1978, is the market leader in the recovery, reclamation and sales of refrigerants in Singapore and neighbouring countries.
