New ASU to enhance Messer’s market position in Midwest US

Messer and North Star BlueScope Steel (NSBS) recently have entered into an agreement to increase supply of gaseous oxygen in Delta, Ohio.

Messer, a trusted supplier of gases to NSBS for more than 20 years, is making a major investment to build a new ASU in Delta to increase oxygen supply up to 700 tons-per-day.

In addition to supplying NSBS, Messer’s new ASU will increase the company’s own liquid capacity in Delta, supporting growth and supply reliability for merchant customers in the growing Midwestern market.

“This investment underscores our commitment to expanding our on-site business in the U.S., while strategically growing U.S. merchant business,” said Jens Luehring, President of Messer Americas.
