Praxair Inc. has expanded its business in Peru by acquiring Tecnogas, a local producer and distributor of CO2 and industrial gases in Peru. Financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed.

Tecnogas has been serving customers in Peru for more than 50 years. With annual revenue of approximately US$10 million, the business serves almost 400 customers across a variety of end markets including food and beverage, healthcare and metal fabrication.
