Got a letter in the mail today regarding my accounts at Praxair. They have been bought out by Linde it looks like.

I am old enough to remember when they were Union Carbide and were forced by the courts to divest into Praxair et al after the Bhopal disaster in 1984.

30+ years later...still a sad tragedy.

We have 3 suppliers in the city, 2 of which are Praxair and AirLiquide....guess we now have 2

Perhaps they will change their policies in BC about hydro'ing, recertifying and filling larger customer owned bottles! *fingers crossed*! :mad:
