Jinhong Gas Co., Ltd., a Chinese company specialising in industrial gases, has announced a major investment in Spain for the construction of a cryogenic air separation unit. This project, the group’s first in Europe, is part of an international expansion strategy aimed at strengthening its presence in energy and industrial markets.

An industrial project with strategic scope

The agreement includes the commissioning of a facility to produce high-purity industrial gases for a customer in the energy materials sector. Jinhong Gas will fund the entire infrastructure and ensure continuous supply of the gases required for production. The plant will include surplus capacity to meet future market growth, reflecting an approach focused on flexibility and industrial resilience.

Strengthening global production capacity

Following the success of a similar project in Thailand, this new installation marks Jinhong Gas’s second on-site international deployment. The group is thus enhancing its expertise in the production and management of on-site gas facilities while expanding its global supply chain and service network. Spain will become a strategic base for European operations, enabling the group to better address regional industrial needs.

Geographic expansion and market diversification

With this move, Jinhong Gas extends its footprint to five countries: Singapore, Vietnam, Thailand, the United States, and now Spain. This geographic expansion illustrates a targeted investment strategy in key markets across Asia, North America, and Europe. The company is reinforcing its position among global providers of integrated gas solutions while diversifying its commercial outlets and industrial partnerships.
