On March 18, 2025, the Asian Helium Conference and the 5th Industrial Gas Industry Development Conference were successfully held in Shanghai, China, under the theme "Empowering the Gas Industry, International Cooperation to Create the Future."
This highly anticipated annual event brought together helium and industrial gas professionals from across Southeast Asia, Russia, the United States, Qatar, Japan, South Korea, and other key markets. Experts and delegates discussed global gas supply trends, emerging applications, and the rapidly evolving international trade environment. Over 300 participants, including gas manufacturers, traders, downstream users, and industry association leaders, gathered to share insights and explore collaborative opportunities that will shape the future of the gas industry.
As an active participant and co-organizer, YIGAS Group demonstrated its commitment to advancing global industrial gas cooperation and innovation. During the conference, Mr. Lollan Zhou, Vice President of YIGAS Group, delivered a keynote speech titled "China's Helium Supply Chain Solutions under the New Russian Gas Import Pattern."
Mr. Zhou highlighted how shifts in global energy and helium sourcing — particularly the restructuring of the Russian gas export market — are reshaping China's helium supply landscape. He introduced YIGAS Group's strategic solutions for ensuring stable and sustainable helium supply to the domestic and Asian markets, including:
- Diversifying overseas helium sourcing channels.
- Strengthening logistics integration and long-term partnerships.
- Expanding investment in high-purity helium storage and purification technologies.
- Supporting semiconductor, medical, and aerospace industries with reliable helium delivery.
His speech received wide recognition from both domestic and international attendees, many of whom emphasized the importance of resilience, innovation, and cross-border collaboration in navigating global helium challenges.
As a conference co-organizer, YIGAS not only contributed to the technical sessions but also hosted the evening appreciation banquet — "YIGAS Night." The dinner provided a platform for open communication among guests, fostering deeper partnerships and expressing gratitude to industry colleagues, research experts, and international partners for their long-standing support.
Through this event, YIGAS Group once again demonstrated its leadership in the helium and specialty gas sector. With over 30 years of expertise and 10+ production bases across China, YIGAS continues to expand its global footprint in Asia and Africa, delivering high-purity gases and one-stop supply chain solutions to partners worldwide.
