It is just really hard to imagine an industry with nicer people overall than those in the cryogenic and atmospheric gases business. From major producers to distributors and dealers there is an almost universal kindness, generosity, helpfulness and humility. And this is said for a lot of reasons, but mostly on the basis of how pleasant it is to visit, lunch, work with and serve people you enjoy. Maybe this pervasive goodness is a result of so many multi-generational families in the industry. Maybe the pervasive goodness is the cause of so many multi-generational families and so many people that have been in the business their full careers.
Either way, it is an industry that should be strongly considered by people looking for a career with good people, plenty of challenges and an unlimited supply of opportunities for innovation and learning. From building ships to harvesting grapes; from hospitals and universities to aerospace research the cryogenic gases industry is constantly developing new applications to help industry, healthcare, research and more. Consequently, projections for the industry tend to forecast continued (albeit controlled) growth for the foreseeable future.
