Praxair México, a subsidiary of Praxair, Inc.(NYSE: PX) has started up a new packaged gases facility in the Altamira industrial corridor on the northeast coast of México.
The facility represents the last phase of a three-stage investment which positions Praxair to meet growing customer demand in the region.
In addition to the modern, palletized industrial and medical gases production facility, the complex includes a state-of-the-art, on-site hydrogen plant which supplies Posco, one of the most important steel companies in the region, and an advanced nitrogen plant which supplies high quality product to several customers through a 35-kilometer pipeline.
