Air Products, a global industrial gases company headquartered in Allentown, announced Wednesday that it had been awarded additional on-site nitrogen supply by one of the world’s largest manufacturers of electronic components for the company’s new production line in Binhai New Area, Tianjin, China.
Air Products has been supplying on-site nitrogen to the company’s manufacturing site in Tianjin and supporting its ongoing expansion for more than 12 years. The company is building several facilities. It has three currently running, and two are expected to start up in the coming months.
“It is our honor to have earned the continued trust of our strategic customer,” Saw Choon Seong, China president at Air Products, said. “The expanding relationship will further position us to support their upcoming and long-term growth. For over 40 years, Air Products has been serving the global electronics industry and the world’s leading manufacturers with safety, reliability, efficiency and excellent service. Our ongoing investment in the strategic Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region is part of our longstanding commitment to supporting the development of China’s electronics manufacturing industry under the government’s 13th Five-Year Plan and beyond.”
Binhai New Area is a manufacturing and research and development base, a northern international shipping and logistics center and China’s third economic growth pole, Air Products noted. In addition to Tianjin, Air Products is also customers in other electronics manufacturing bases including Nanjing, Xi’an and Fujian Province.
