Hot on the heels of its much vaunted re-entry into the German market, Messer is constructing a production plant at Salzgitter AG for approx. €50m and thereby exceeding the company’s own expectations for its return to the domestic field.
The Messer Group has signed a contract with Salzgitter Flachstahl GmbH, a subsidiary of Salzgitter AG, to construct and operate an air separation plant, with a contract validity period of 15 years. The industrial gas specialist will invest around €50m in the production plant for oxygen, nitrogen and argon.
The air separation plant on the site of Salzgitter AG will supply more than 30,000 standard cubic metres of oxygen and optionally 40,000 standard cubic metres of nitrogen to the steelworks in gaseous form. Messer will also produce oxygen, nitrogen and argon in liquid form to cater for the local market.
Stefan Messer explained, “The partnership with Salzgitter AG opens up totally new potential for our activities in Germany. We are certain that we will be able to gain the trust of our partner not only on account of our technical concept, but also through our dynamic plans for our return to the German market.”
