L Air Liquide SA
Air Liquide SA was established as the investment vehicle for the industrial gas supplier founded in 1902. It deploys the parent’s capital into liquid and illiquid assets, with allocations directed to private equity, real estate, and infrastructure and a focus on energy transition and healthcare. Holdings include industrial technology firms and healthcare service providers, concentrated in Western Europe with additional exposure in North America and Asia. Investment decisions align with Air Liquide’s corporate treasury needs rather than external LP mandates, supporting longer holding periods and lower liquidity requirements than typical fund-of-funds managers.
