Air Products Launches New Cleveland Facility

Air Products, a leading supplier of industrial gases worldwide, has recently announced the opening of its new air separation facility located in Cleveland, Ohio. This state-of-the-art facility is now fully operational and is set to supply not only onsite customers but also contribute to the regional market demand.

The Cleveland facility illustrates Air Products' ongoing commitment to enhancing its operational capabilities. Alongside the new facility, the company is making considerable investments to extend the lifespan of an existing air separation unit and liquefier plant. These developments will ensure a steady supply of gaseous oxygen, gaseous nitrogen, and liquid argon under a long-term contract to an onsite customer. Additionally, there will be an expanded outreach to the regional merchant market, supplying gases to a variety of industries.

Francesco Maione, President of Air Products’ Americas division, emphasized the strategic importance of this facility, stating, “The new facility enhances this location as it will continue to provide a strategic footprint in an important merchant market while continuing to serve a significant onsite customer.” This facility is particularly noteworthy as it not only supports a diverse customer base in the Cleveland area but also showcases Air Products' strength in industrial gas production and supply.

Air Products has maintained a presence in Cleveland since the 1960s, establishing itself as a trusted supplier for several sectors, including chemicals, food, electronics, primary materials, fabricated metals, and health services. The Cleveland plant also plays a crucial role in serving as a backup liquid supply for several other Air Products customers in the region, thereby ensuring reliable service continuity.
