Nippon Sanso Holdings Corp. (NSHD) announced that its U.S. operating company, Matheson Tri-Gas, Inc. (Irving, Tex.), will build, own, and operate a new air separation plant in Las Vegas, Nevada, which is scheduled for completion in 2027. This new plant will strategically strengthen Matheson’s national network of air separation plants, particularly in the rapidly growing U.S. Sunbelt region.
The new Nippon Sanso plant will produce oxygen, nitrogen, and argon to meet increasing demand for liquid gases in the medical, fabrication, construction, and food processing industries across Nevada, California, Utah, and Arizona. The addition of this new plant will further enhance Nippon Sanso’s U.S. capabilities in packaged gases, specialty gases, nitrous oxide, dry ice, helium and HyCO (hydrogen and carbon monoxide) supply.
