Most people come into contact with BOC every day. That’s because our products and services touch almost every area of business, industrial and domestic life.

For more than a century, BOC products have contributed to advances in many industries - including steel-making, refining, chemical processing, environmental protection, wastewater treatment, welding and cutting, food processing and distribution, glass production, electronics, safety and health care.

We are also a member of The Linde Group, a world-leading industrial gases and engineering company with more than 53,000 employees across over 70 countries. As such, we have a global commitment to ensuring we continue to deliver to the changing demands of our customers and the environments they work in.

Here in the South Pacific region, BOC is a leading provider of gases and related industrial equipment, safety products, training, services and solutions. We currently service around 400,000 customers with 40 production facilities, 100 retail outlets and over 1,000 agents. Across this region, we also have over 2,500 employees.

There are no higher priorities for us as an organisation than the health and safety of our employees, customers, suppliers and the broader community. As part of this genuine commitment, we provide our employees with internal safety schemes, such as the BOC health -e choices initiative and the benchmarked BOC Driver Safety Program, which promotes 100% safe driving behaviour 100% of the time.

The RYDA Program therefore has great synergies with our own BOC safe driving culture – and this is why we have been keen to support the development of this Youth education program for younger drivers. Our employees participate as volunteers at many of the workshops and provide background administration support to help ensure the ongoing success of the program. We are subsequently most proud to be the Founding Sponsor of RYDA.
