DETAILS
Air Products today announced its new plant
in the Pukou Economic Development Zone (PKEDZ),
Nanjing, eastern China, has come on-stream
to supply ultra-high purity gases to its customer in the park.
The facility also provides liquid nitrogen
to merchant customers in and around Nanjing.
The company announced this investment in new capacity last year.
The PKEDZ is a state-level high-tech park
that is growing into a hub for advanced manufacturing sectors
including integrated circuit (IC),
new materials and bio-medicine.
It is only 35 kilometers away
from the Nanjing Chemical Industry Park (NCIP),
where Air Products has already built a leading position
over the past decade with three large air separation units
serving several hundred customers in the park
and across Nanjing through pipelines
and various other supply modes.
China’s IC industry is developing at a fast pace,
fueled by a major government initiative launched in 2014
with billions of dollars of funding to advance
its domestic electronics manufacturing industries.
Several industrial clusters have emerged across the country,
creating great demand for high-quality industrial gases.

“We are excited to have brought this strategic milestone project on-stream
in short lead time to serve both our international customer in PKEDZ
and the increasing demand in Nanjing,”
“Air Products has already established a strong position
in Nanjing and eastern China with integrated
and reliable supply capabilities.
We will continue to invest and play our role
to support the fast-growing semiconductor industry
driven by the Made in China 2025 strategy
and the government’s high-tech manufacturing target
under the 13th Five-Year Plan.”
