Linde Bangladesh Limited, a member of The Linde Group’s Gases Division, on Wednesday inaugurated the newly built air separation unit (ASU) in Rupganj.
Amir Hossain Amu, Industries Minister, inauguration ceremony of Linde Bangladesh’s Rupganj 100 TPD ASU while Golam Dastagir Gazi, Bir Protik, MP attended as special guest.
Linde’s investment of BDT 1.2 billion (EUR 14.6 million) in this new plant was announced in November 2015. The construction work of the plant was marked by a groundbreaking ceremony in April 2016.
The Rupganj plant will produce approximately 100 tonnes per day of liquefied gases, making it the largest liquid producing merchant ASU in Bangladesh. The project engineering division (PED), a subsidiary of Linde Engineering has designed, build and managed the Rupganj plant construction and it comprises state-of-the art energy efficient technology. It will provide liquefied gases supply and related solutions to Bangladesh’s growing healthcare, food and beverage, fabrication, pharmaceutical, shipbuilding and ship recycling industries.
The minister said, “It gives me great pleasure to take part in this event. Linde is a world famous German company. By investing in this country, Linde demonstrates that it has faith in Bangladesh and its market. By providing the necessary support to Linde, the authorities in Bangladesh show that investing in Bangladesh does pay off and that Foreign Direct Investments are really welcomed. Thus, I hope that this venture serves as a successful example of such investments which in turn can help to attract other multi-national companies to follow suit.”
