CANTON, MICH.  (BUSINESSWIRE) JUNE 23, 2020

Fusion Coolant Systems (“Fusion”) announced today the formation of a strategic partnership with Air Liquide, initially targeted in the South West European Region (France, Italy, Spain, Portugal). The partnership is focused on increasing sustainability, productivity, and employee health & safety for manufacturers engaged in CNC machining, by pairing two industry-leading and forward-thinking companies. 

Fusion is the inventor and exclusive source of a highly successful and proprietary technology called Pure-Cut®, which utilizes supercritical CO2 as a replacement for traditional mineral oil coolant and lubrication systems in CNC machining. Air Liquide, with newly secured sourcing solutions in Europe of purified CO2, a sub product from chemical & biogas industries, and strong know-how in gas installations design, is uniquely positioned to support the wide-spread introduction of supercritical CO2 machining offered by Fusion, in compliance with established safety and regulatory regulations.

The firms expect to jointly sell and install Pure-Cut systems in South West Europe, while exploring opportunities to expand the geographic reach of the alliance. This partnership highlights how Air Liquide regularly brings to its customers the latest, most innovative technologies that support industrial efficiency and sustainability objectives.
Jean-Marie Padovani, Director of Innovation of Air Liquide commented, “We look forward to our future collaboration with Fusion that will enrich our gas applications portfolio, already existing, for CNC machining. Air Liquide’s expertise in CO2 and Fusion’s innovative technology are key enablers to ensure a broad and fast dissemination of a complete solution to the benefit of the entire manufacturing sector.”
