For some 60 years we've supplied medical grade gases as well as cryogenic services for magnetic resonance imaging to hospitals and institutions. Over 50 years ago, we first entered the homecare market in Europe and in 2002 entered the U.S. homecare market. Today, we're the number 1 homecare provider in Spain, Portugal, and Mexico; the number 2 provider in Europe; and one of the 10 largest providers in the U.S. We are also widely recognized as the U.S. leader in medical oxygen regulatory compliance. In MRI, we serve 4000 customer sites in the U.S. and nearly 6000 worldwide, with an uptime service record exceeding 99 percent.
No matter where in the world we operate, our main objective is to offer solutions that meet the needs of healthcare providers and their patients-quickly, effectively, and safely. Caring and commitment are at the heart of our relationships.
