GCE
A global leader in gas control for industrial, specialty gas and medical applications.
GCE is the leading provider of specialty gas solutions, developing and manufacturing of all types of equipment for pressure and flow control of high-pressure gasses across various industries. ESAB Corporation acquired GCE in 2018 to set the foundation for a new growth platform with a strong global footprint.
With extensive experience in the handling of high-pressure gasses, GCE’s origins go back to the beginning of the twentieth century when oxy-acetylene cutting and welding methods were invented. Today’s product portfolio fits a large variety of applications for industrial, medical, life sciences, and specialty gas controls.
With the backing of ESAB Corporation, GCE is tackling these challenges head-on by not only enabling development of innovative products and solutions, but relentlessly looking for ways to drive continuous improvement and deliver additional value to customers, healthcare providers, and shareholders.

Innovation spotlight.
VarioVIPR™
Industrial combi valves are typically designed for specific applications and gas packages. This means gas suppliers often need different valves across their cylinder fleet. GCE rethought the concept with VarioVIPR™, a modular valve with an integrated pressure regulator designed to be a single solution across an entire fleet. Its compact and adaptable design allows it to be used with small portable cylinders and large industrial gas packages. For operators, VarioVIPR combines reliable dual-stage pressure regulation, precise flow control, clear indicators, ergonomic operation, and robust protection. This innovative approach brings a range of benefits for valve owners and end users.
MediVitop MOVE
Small oxygen cylinders are widely used in healthcare for emergencies, homecare, and patient transport. However, many valves on the market are designed for larger gas packages, making them unnecessarily bulky for compact cylinders. GCE addressed this with MediVitop® Move, a compact valve with a pressure regulator optimized for 2L cylinders while retaining the same cylinder diameter for compatibility with 5 to 10L cylinders. Its slim profile and lower height make storage, transport, and rack or pallet handling easier. As a compact variant of the established MediVitop®, MediVitop® Move carries its predecessor’s proven features, including intuitive design, an ergonomic handle, and reliable flow and pressure control.
HTM Medical Air Plant
Medical air systems need to deliver a continuous supply of pure, reliable air while keeping maintenance, energy, and space requirements under control. Ohio Medical HTM Medical Air Plant meets these needs with oil-free scroll compressor technology and a compact, plug-and-play design. The oil-free system eliminates the risk of oil contamination to support patient safety and medical air purity, while fewer moving parts reduce vibration and maintenance requirements. Its compact footprint and simplified installation help optimize plant room space and running costs, supporting a more sustainable approach to medical air generation.
UHP Range
The rapid growth of semiconductor manufacturing has driven greater demand for ultra-high-purity (UHP) gas control solutions. GCE responded by expanding its specialty gas portfolio with a dedicated UHP range covering the complete gas control system. Today, GCE delivers UHP regulators, valves, manifolds, and point-of-use units. All the products are engineered by experts and manufactured in certified cleanroom conditions to deliver reliable performance with minimal contamination risk in demanding applications.
