Praxair recently announced it has signed a long-term agreement to supply ultra-high purity nitrogen to Samsung’s semiconductor facility in Hwaseong, South Korea.

This is the 5th plant Praxair will build at this site to help enable Samsung to meet increased global semiconductor demand.

The new plant will supply Samsung’s facility with high purity nitrogen and is expected to start up in late 2019. Additionally, Praxair will install multiple purifiers and a new pipeline system to support the project.

"Praxair has been a reliable partner to Samsung for over four decades. We are proud to continue to support their growth as global demand for electronics intensifies,” said B.S. Sung, president of Praxair Korea.
