Founded in 1898, the name Messer has been associated with innovation and expertise in industrial gases and related fields for 120 years. Today, Messer is the world’s largest family-run specialist for gases. Under the brand ‘Messer – Gases for Life’, the company markets products and services in Europe, Asia and the Americas. Its 11,200 employees collaborate in a family business that focuses on diversity and mutual respect, and which in 2021 generated total sales of 3.5 billion Euros.

Tim Evison is responsible at the Messer Group for the development of the clean hydrogen business and, more generally, for the company’s progress towards its ESG objectives, not least the decarbonisation of its activities.

Tim has been with Messer since 1991 and is a member of the Group’s Senior Advisory Board. He is also a member of EIGA’s Regulatory and Environmental Council, at which the topic of life cycle assessment of CO2 emissions has risen in importance for the gases sector.

Tim holds a degree in Mathematics (Cantab), an MBA (INSEAD) and enjoys watching rugby and playing silly games with family and friends, sometimes vice versa.

He is married with four, grown-up children.
