Air Liquide: New investment in the Philippines
Air Liquide will invest more than €22 million in the construction and operation of a new Air Separation Unit (ASU) in the Calamba Premiere Industrial Park, south of Luzon.
The new ASU, to be commissioned by year-end 2012, will produce gaseous nitrogen as well as more than 200 tonnes per day of liquid gases, mainly oxygen and nitrogen, to address increasing demand from high-tech manufacturers in the Luzon area. This unit will reinforce the availability and reliability of the Air Liquide supply chain in the country.
The new ASU will benefit customers that include Samsung Electro-Mechanics Philippines Corporation (SEMPHIL), which recently awarded Air Liquide a new long-term contract for the supply of industrial gases. SEMPHIL, an affiliate manufacturing plant of the Samsung Electro-Mechanics Corporation in South Korea, has a large manufacturing facility in the Luzon area producing passive components for its world market.
