Paris/France – Air Liquide will build, own and operate, through a significant investment of around 70 million euros, a new industrial gas production facility in Singapore. In the framework of the long-term agreement, large volumes of ultra-high purity nitrogen, oxygen, argon and other gases will be supplied to Visionpower Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (VSMC), the joint venture formed by Vanguard International Semiconductor Corporation and NXP Semiconductors.

As part of Air Liquide's comprehensive Carrier Gas solution, this state-of-the-art plant is designed to deliver ultra-high purity gases with an optimized footprint and best-in-class energy efficiency, providing exceptional value to VSMC by enhancing both reliability and efficiency.

Strategically located within the Tampines Wafer Fab Park, one of Singapore’s four key wafer fabrication hubs, the new facility will bolster Singapore’s position as a global semiconductor powerhouse. With the semiconductor industry accounting for more than 20 % of the country’s manufacturing output, this investment reflects Air Liquide’s dedication to supporting Singapore’s industrial and economic growth.
