Linde has announced that it will increase its supply of ultra-high-purity atmospheric, process, and specialty gases to Samsung’s 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.
“Today’s announcement further consolidates Linde’s 45-year track record of safely and reliably supplying industrial gases to Samsung in South Korea,” said B.S. Sung, President Linde Korea. “Pyeongtaek is Linde's single largest site for an electronics customer worldwide, and we are proud to have been selected once again to support Samsung’s growth. Linde’s advanced technology is designed to ensure our gases meet the high purity standards required for semiconductor manufacturing. We look forward to continuing to deliver innovative solutions to support this world-class facility.”
