Air Products & Chemicals Opens New Facility in Cleveland, Enhancing Regional Supply Capabilities

Air Products Strengthens Regional Presence with New Facility in Cleveland

Air Products & Chemicals, a global leader in industrial gases, announces the successful launch of its new air separation facility in Cleveland, Ohio. This state-of-the-art facility is now operational and is already fulfilling contracts with customers in the region. The facility not only produces gaseous oxygen and nitrogen but also liquid argon, catering to both an onsite customer and the broader regional merchant market. This strategic move underscores Air Products' commitment to enhancing its supply capabilities while reinforcing its longstanding presence in the area, which dates back to the 1960s.

Francesco Maione, the President of Air Products' Americas division, highlights the significance of this new facility. Its ability to provide essential gases to a diverse customer base illustrates the company's dedication to meeting the growing demands of various industries including chemicals, food, electronics, and healthcare. Furthermore, the facility acts as a vital liquid backup source for other customers in the Cleveland area, ensuring reliability and continuity of supply. By investing in this new facility, Air Products not only strengthens its operational capacity but also positions itself as a key player in the expanding merchant market.

In addition to launching the new air separation unit, Air Products is also reinvesting in its existing infrastructure at the Cleveland site. The company plans to enhance the life of an existing air separation unit and liquefier plant, demonstrating its commitment to sustainability and operational efficiency. This dual investment strategy not only furthers Air Products' capabilities in delivering essential industrial gases but also aligns with its broader mission of facilitating the transition to low- and zero-carbon energy solutions. As the company continues to innovate and expand its footprint, it remains focused on providing reliable services to its extensive customer base across approximately 50 countries.
