History
The company was founded by Leonard Pool
in 1940 in Detroit, MI, on the strength of a simple, but then
revolutionary, idea: the "on-site" concept of producing
and selling industrial gases, primarily oxygen. At the time,
most oxygen was sold as a highly compressed gas product in cylinders
that weighed five times more than the gas itself. Air Products
proposed building oxygen gas generating facilities adjacent to
large-volume users, thereby reducing distribution costs. The
concept of piping the gas directly from the generator to the
point of use proved sound and technically solvable.
