"These significant capital investments underscore Linde's continued commitment to our business in Asia Pacific in general, and China, in particular, and build upon earlier investments and capabilities in the region, including the recent start-up of our state-of-the-art R&D center in Taichung, Taiwan. Asia will continue to be a growth driver for Linde and we will continue to invest in Asia," said Sanjiv Lamba, Member of the Executive Board of Linde AG and Chief Operating Officer for Asia Pacific.

Linde LienHwa, together with Linde's Engineering Division, will design and construct these facilities. These projects include multiple gaseous nitrogen plants, with a combined capacity of over 110,000 Nm³/hr, plus several other bulk gas supply systems. All the plants will be on stream by the end of 2017.

Linde and its JV partners in China currently deliver gases solutions and systems to more than a dozen electronic production facilities across the major segments of the electronics industry, including those in semiconductor, display, solar and LED.
