Ready to discuss your food process challenges?
Food operations ranging from poultry processors to bakeries benefit from Messer’s quality gas supply and hands-on commitment to understanding how food processing operations actually run. Messer’s food team brings industry-focused experience that can help you improve throughput, protect product quality, work within constrained plant footprints, and support food safety as production demands grow.
Our local teams work directly with your facility to evaluate processes, support implementation, and help maintain performance over time. Through process assessments, product testing, and bottleneck analysis, Messer helps processors identify practical, datadriven improvement opportunities before full-scale investment.
Messer holds private conversations with industry leaders, providing an opportunity to share emerging technologies, gather direct operational feedback, and validate which solutions will best address the issues customers are facing today.
As a family-owned company, Messer also understands the long-term, relationship-driven approach that many food processors value and works with customers to match the right solution and supply setup to their product, footprint, and growth plans.
Messer’s North American production footprint includes a national network of air separation units, extensive bulk delivery capabilities, and an integrated distribution network designed for continuous, high-volume operations. Backed by 24/7 remote monitoring, telemetry-based tank management, and centralized delivery coordination, we combine that supply strength with engineering experience to help processors size the right solution for their product, process, and growth plans rather than forcing a one-size-fits-all approach. Messer also works with processors to determine the right mode of supply for the operation, whether that means packaged gas, bulk cryogenic supply, or on-site support matched to production volume, plant layout, and long-term growth.
Safety and quality are embedded into how we operate. From production and delivery to on-site systems, our standards align with the care required in food processing environments, where hygienic design, safe gas use, and consistent operating performance all matter.

KwikChiller
Messer’s KwikChiller is a compact, high-capacity cryogenic system that exemplifies our approach to freezing and chilling innovation. Originally developed to chill fresh poultry in combo bins with nitrogen, this solution is now being applied more broadly for both chilling and freezing where processors need strong throughput, tighter temperature control, and a smaller footprint that fits within existing operations.
Messer supports temperature control during critical in-process steps such as grinding, mixing, blending, forming, and stuffing. Cryogenic gases can be used to maintain precise product temperatures, reduce time spent in the danger zone, protect texture and yield, and support HACCP-compatible processes before freezing or packaging.
This approach can help processors stabilize quality earlier in production, reducing downstream rework and waste.
Messer supports food processors with modified atmosphere packaging solutions that can help extend shelf life, protect product quality, and maintain freshness across a wide range of baked goods, produce, and other prepared or packaged foods.
These solutions help processors manage microbial risk and oxidation while meeting clean‑label and shelf‑life expectations.
Messer supports food producers and distributors with cryogenic transport cooling solutions that help maintain cold chain integrity, protect product quality, and support reliable temperature control during storage, shipping, and delivery.
Consistent temperature control throughout distribution supports food safety programs and helps prevent quality loss caused by temperature excursions.
Messer supports food processors with product testing that helps evaluate chilling and freezing performance under real process conditions, so the right solution can be matched to the product, throughput goals, and plant footprint before full-scale implementation.
Testing allows processors to validate performance, food safety objectives, and yield outcomes prior to final system selection.
Messer supports food processors with hydrogen supply for hydrogenation processes that help stabilize edible oils and fats, support consistent product quality, and meet production requirements in specialized food applications.
Messer supports aquaculture operations with oxygenation and related water treatment solutions that help maintain water quality, support fish health, and improve growing conditions.
