Praxair, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Linde plc (NYSE:LIN;

expansion is in response to the rapidly growing demand from
contracted customers in the space launch sector as well as in the
healthcare, manufacturing, food processing and water treatment
sectors in the area. The project is expected to be completed by the
end of 2019.
“This investment further strengthens Praxair’s supply
reliability in the region,” said Todd Lawson, East Region vice
president of Praxair’s U.S. industrial gas business. “Furthermore,
the increased production capacity of our merchant atmospheric gases
will enable us to better support our customers’ growth and
