Linde invests EUR 30 MM to expand production capacity in central Malaysia
Shah Alam, Selangor — Linde Malaysia, a member of The Linde Group, one of the world’s gases and engineering companies, will invest EUR 30 MM to expand its gas and liquid production capacities to meet growing customer demands in central Malaysia. Linde’s announcement is the latest in a series of recent investments that Linde has made in Malaysia in the past 12 months.
Linde will construct and commission a new gas and liquid producing air separation unit (ASU) at its site in Hicom Industrial Estate (Hicom). The new ASU will be integrated into the pipeline supply network of existing plants which Linde operates in Bukit Raja and Hicom. The investment will enable Linde to meet forecast growth in the central Malaysian region through the next decade. The expansion project is expected to be completed by 2018.
The facility will also form the cornerstone of a renewed and expanding oxygen supply scheme to leading Japanese glass manufacturer, Nippon Electric Glass Malaysia (NEGM).
Available liquid product from this new investment will also serve the needs of customers from a variety of industries throughout central Malaysia, including electronics, healthcare, food and beverage, metallurgy and glass.
The new ASU will be built leveraging engineering, technical and design expertise of Linde’s Engineering Division. Linde’s world-leading technology in air separation design offers high energy efficiency and operational reliability.
The expansion of Linde’s production capacity in Hicom is the latest in a series of Linde investments in Malaysia. Early last year, Linde announced plans to build an ASU in East Malaysia, expected to come online this year. Linde and PETRONAS Gas Berhad have also announced a joint venture to invest EUR 150 MM to build an ASU at the Pengerang Integrated Petroleum Complex. More recently, Linde launched Southeast Asia’s first automated cylinder filling plant in Banting, Malaysia which has a maximum annual filling capacity of over 2 MM cylinders.
