Gasco Energy meets latest quality & safety standards

Gasco Energy Limited, a company operating in the unloading, storage and filling of LPG gas in cylinders and road tankers, has raised its own bar on quality and safety by meeting the requirements of ISO 9001, which certification also covers its cylinder testing and refurbishment operations.

Gasco Energy is contracted to fill and to test the green and yellow LPG cylinders for Liquigas Malta. 

Gasco Energy was formally audited by SGS Italia, a leader in inspection and certification services, and found to meet the stringent quality standard attributed to ISO 9001 certification. Among the activities audited were the filling, testing and maintenance of cylinders, specialised handling of bulk gases as well as cylinder delivery.

While receiving the ISO 9001certificate from Paul Parnis, the Malta branch manager of SGS Italia Spa, Paul Agius Delicata, CEO of Gasco Energy Limited, said, “This certification shows the continuous commitment undertaken by Gasco Energy to meet and exceed the highest standards in industry and to deliver unsurpassed service to our customers.

"Furthermore, it emphasises our ongoing dedication to exceed industry standards in all stages of our operation.” He also thanked Ing Francis Farrugia for his consulting advice.

Based in Bengħisa, Gasco Energy operates a fully certified gas bottling and storage facility with an investment of €20 million, which has more than doubled the LPG storage facilities in Malta. This facility has secured a continuous, adequate supply of liquefied petroleum gas at all times to cater for present and future requirements of the Maltese market.

Fully respecting the EU stringent criteria as established in the Seveso II Directives, the modern storage and bottling plant was inaugurated in November 2012. As from 1st February 2009, Liquigas Malta - the other company in the Gasco Consortium - became responsible for gas distribution in cylinders, in bulk and also autogas, for the first time in Malta.
