Suttons Group has won a contract with industrial medical gas firm Air Liquide UK to distribute bulk gasses across the UK following a competitive tender.
The Widnes-based bulk specialist will move gasses for Air Liquide UK from its countrywide sites directly to customers.
Andrew Palmer, group managing director at Suttons, says the contract is a "significant win" for the group, but it is not releasing details regarding the value or duration of the deal.
Tony Bonnett, UK operations manager for Air Liquide UK, says it was an "extremely tough selection process".
"Air Liquide UK has stringent contract specification requirements and criteria which have to be met without exception, to ensure we offer safe distribution for all our bulk gases combined with service levels second to none for our customers.
"Suttons has a proven record and extensive experience of bulk gases logistics to a wide spectrum of industrial operations and having met our contract criteria in full, were successfully awarded this important contract."
Last June Suttons struck an £800,000 deal with trailer and body manufacturer Dennison for new trailers and the refurbishment of rolling stock.
