Our story
UGAS is a dynamic company specialised in the production and distribution of high quality industrial and medical gases.
The company was established in 2019 to better meet the demand for more affordable, reliable and high quality medical and industrial gases, such as oxygen, nitrogen and acetylene.
Like many other sub-Saharan African countries, Somalia lacks access to medical oxygen and there is a lack of capacity on the proper use. This causes unnecessary deaths every day, and the situation has worsened due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Further, Somalia's industries rely solely on import for vital gases needed for their business. UGAS provides essential gases for industries to boost production.
More than just a gas plant
Community
Supporting the development and well-being of society is essential to UGAS.
We have been supporting sports and community engagement activities throughout Somalia. Sports is in particular an important tool to help build bridges between community groups. Science tells us that sport can help to foster more respect between groups, and instill important values within youth, including teamwork, sportsmanship, determination and discipline.
Join the #114Trees Challenge
In collaboration with Hanano, UGAS has donated the planting of 1368 trees.
Together with our partner Hanano, we have launched the #114 trees challenge, a business community initiative to inspire Somali entrepreneurs to plant one million new trees across every region of Somalia.
We call on all businesses and organisation to join the #114 tree planting challenge and help save our environment.
Why we plant trees?
Trees help to rebuild animal habitat, restore soil and critical watersheds, all while improving the lives of the communities who rely on the forests the most.
Somalia’s forest coverage has dropped by 83 per cent since the 1980s.
