Achievements

Our response to your emergency needs

A fast reliable and safe answer to avoid a production stoppage

Our customer informs us that his nitric acid tank, one of his main raw materials, is out of service and asks us if we can provide him with an emergency storage solution. In less than 3 days, our technical and QHSE teams deliver and install an Isotank with its retention tank on the customer’s site, and connect it to the production facilities.

Distribution of sensitive products

Delivery of hydrogen peroxide from the Czech Republic

To ensure the distribution across Central Europe of Hydrogen peroxide at various concentrations, our customer delivered a wagon of concentrated peroxide to our site in the Czech Republic. We stored the wagon, ran an on-line dilution facility and then delivered the various desired concentrations directly to their customers.

Implementation of innovative solutions

Suppor with your complex projects

For its deliveries to the Netherlands and France, GCA has developed a new chassis jointly with a client's technical team. The goal is to deliver refrigerant gases across Europe in perfect safety while respecting environmental conditions. This chassis contains several built-in pumps that guarantee reliable distribution while preventing any gas from going into the atmosphere.
