Air Liquide invests in the South of Germany

Air Liquide Deutschland GmbH决定在德国建立最大的单位，以便在ULM地区的气体（氮气，氧气和氩气）液化。

With this investment of nearly €60 million, the Air Liquide Group is reinforcing its supply network for industrial gases, which are used in many industrial production processes. This new activity also enables the Group toaccompany the growth of its customers in Germany, particularly in the following sectors: automobile construction, mechanical construction, electrical engineering, food processing, as well as in technological development (such as in the domain of renewable energy) in research and in activities which traditionally dominate the economy in Southern Germany.

The start-up of the unit, which will produce approximately700 tonnes of liquefied gases per day，计划为2009年底. About 15 jobs will be created.

这项投资同样同样是液化空气对可持续发展的承诺的进一步说明。生产现场和客户设施之间的距离将大大降低，有助于减少交通的道路交通和二氧化碳排放。

Klaus Schmieder, Senior Executive Vice-President, Air Liquide Group，说：“我们对德国南部的投资是我们扩展战略的一个组成部分，以满足客户的日益增长的需求，并进一步开发我们为德国重点行业的产品和服务。”
