In the frame of two new long-term contracts, Air Liquide will build, own and operate two new state-of-the-art industrial gas facilities to support the expansion of a leading semiconductor manufacturer in Singapore, for a total investment of 130 million euros. Ultra-high purity gases are essential to accompany the next wave of digital technologies, including AI. These new contracts, signed just a few months apart, highlight the acceleration of demand for advanced electronics components in this key hub.
Air Liquide’s next-generation facilities will supply large volumes of ultra-high purity nitrogen to support the production of advanced chips. Integrated with digital technologies such as automation and predictive maintenance, Air Liquide’s new infrastructures will enhance energy efficiency, operational reliability and quality control, delivering value to the customer. The new units are projected to be operational by 2027, further leveraging the Group’s expertise and extensive footprint in the region.
With these investments, Air Liquide reinforces its forefront position in Singapore but also more broadly in Asia, where Air Liquide is the leading gas supplier to the Electronics industry thanks to its innovative and reliable solutions. In addition, this new series of contracts with a long-standing customer demonstrates its confidence in the Group’s proven ability to deliver industrial gas technologies with the highest standards of quality, reliability and safety.
