Praxair, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Linde plc (NYSE:LIN;
FWB:LIN), has announced it will expand production capacity at its
Neosho, Missouri air separation plant. The expansion is in response
to the growing demand from customers in southwestern Missouri and
neighboring parts of Arkansas, Oklahoma and Kansas in the food,
aerospace, electronics, refining, chemicals and other industries.
The project is expected to be completed in 2020 and will double
capacity at the company’s Neosho facility.
“This investment will strengthen supply reliability and help us
meet the future demands of our liquid oxygen and nitrogen
customers,” said Andy Sarantapoulas, South Region Vice President of
Praxair’s U.S. industrial gas business. “We are proud to be part of
the Neosho community and look forward to growing our presence in
this region.”
“Our most valuable economic partners are always those companies
that have made a long-term commitment to Neosho, and Praxair is
just such a company,” said Michael Franks, CEO of Grow Neosho
Economic Development. “That commitment made it easy for us to work
with Praxair on this expansion project that delivers new capital
investment and new jobs to the Praxair facility in the Neosho
Industrial Park.”
“We are excited to have Praxair as a long-standing customer and
happy they chose Neosho as the location for expanding their
operations. Adding jobs and increasing investment in our
communities is important to the success of the Neosho area,” said
