Linde to increase supply of specialty gases to Samsung semiconductor plant

Linde (LIN) announced that it will increase its supply of ultra-high-purity atmospheric, process and specialty gases to Samsung’s (SSNLF) semiconductor manufacturing complex in Pyeongtaek, South Korea. Linde is the main supplier of industrial gases to Samsung’s complex at Pyeongtaek and already has multiple on-site facilities supplying essential gases. Under a new agreement, Linde will build, own and operate an eighth on-site air separation unit to supply nitrogen, oxygen and argon. Linde will also supply Samsung with hydrogen from its existing on-site hydrogen production facilities. Supply is expected to start up mid-2026.
