For many Australian laboratories, test facilities and accredited organisations, Coregas is already a familiar name. For more than 50 years, Coregas has supplied specialty, medical and industrial gases across Australia and New Zealand, supporting industries where accuracy, consistency and safety matter every day.

Coregas products are supplied in a wide range of container sizes and supply modes, allowing customers to select options that suit their specific application, usage volumes and site requirements. From calibration gases and specialty mixtures to medical and research applications, Coregas has built its reputation on technical knowhow, reliable supply and a strong focus on quality outcomes for its customers.how, reliable supply and a strong focus on quality outcomes for its customers. 

In mid 2025, Coregas became part of Nippon Sanso Holdings Corporation, a global industry leader, marking an important development for the local business. Founded in 1910, Nippon Sanso employs more than 19,000 people globally and operates across more than 30 countries, with major hubs in Japan, the United States, Europe and the Asia Oceania region. The group includes a number of well-established gas companies, such as Matheson in North America, each contributing specialist expertise in high purity and specialty gases. Across its global operations, Nippon Sanso supports analytical laboratories through the supply of high purity and specialty gases used for instrument calibration, method development and research, alongside gases and technologies for healthcare, life sciences, electronics manufacturing and industrial applications. 

Did you Know?

When gas chromatography (GC) was first being established as an analytical technique, one of the key challenges was access to reliable calibration gases. Matheson, part of the Nippon Sanso group, supplied the ultra-high purity gases used as reference standards for the earliest gas chromatographs, helping enable consistent and repeatable GC analysis. Today, Matheson is linking this early work in analytical chemistry with modern specialty and calibration gas capability. The same principles, purity, mixture accuracy and confidence in reference materials continue to guide how Nippon Sanso companies, including Coregas in Australia, support accredited laboratories.

For Australian customers, Coregas remains a local operation, with local teams who understand local requirements and work closely with customers every day. The people, facilities and relationships that underpin Coregas’ service remain unchanged. What has evolved is the level of support behind the business. As part of Nippon Sanso, Coregas now draws on global research and development, shared technical expertise and internationally proven quality and safety processes, all applied with a focus on improving customer outcomes and long-term reliability. 

Why Accreditation Matters 

Accreditation sits at the centre of this shared approach to quality. Operating at a global scale requires alignment to international standards, strong quality management systems and a culture of continuous improvement. This commitment is reflected in Coregas’ specialty gas portfolio. Coregas calibration and reference gas mixtures are developed with accuracy, stability and traceability in mind, supporting instrument calibration, method validation and ongoing compliance for accredited laboratories. 

For NATA accredited organisations, confidence in results depends on the integrity of every input. Coregas specialty gases help support consistent, repeatable and defensible outcomes, supported by a laboratory that has been NATA accredited since 1997 and draws on more than 120 years of experience within its main laboratory operations. As part of the Nippon Sanso group, this capability is further strengthened by global experience applied locally, reinforcing confidence in quality, accreditation and long term reliability.
