Messer to set up liquid air separation unit in China
SHANGHAI -- The industrial gas specialist Messer today signed an agreement with Changsha Hi Tech Zone in Southern China's Hunan province to set up a new 520 tpd liquid air separation unit in the zone, just beside its existing filling station which will be put into service in the third quarter of the year.
The new facility, involving an investment of 250 MM RMB, will begin to supply oxygen, nitrogen, argon and other gas products to the industries in the zone as well as the surrounding areas in the early 2019.
Messer has already invested in nine air separation units in the area with a total capacity of over 200 Mcm per hour. This makes Messer become the largest supplier in the market.
"The decision to invest in a new production facility in Changsha further demonstrates Messer's commitment to its growth strategy and development opportunities in Hunan and affirms our leadership stance and ability to meet rising customer needs in the area," said Dr. Werner Hickel, CEO of Messer China.
