With the commissioning of the second air separation plant in Foshan, Messer has become one of the largest gas suppliers in the Chinese province of Guangdong. The plants of the joint venture MS Foshan Gas Company (FMS) produce 360 tons of nitrogen and oxygen a day. The storage capacity of over 4,000 tons of liquid product is unique: FMS operates the largest filling station in the country. The demand for industrial gases is growing in the major industrial regions of China. In the west of Foshan, the tall white towers of the air separators have thus become synonymous with the image of the modern industrial park.
