Air Products to further expand, open facilities in Buffalo, Edmonton
Paula Wolf//February 6, 2023//
Allentown-based Air Products announced plans Monday to establish new Project Delivery offices in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, and Buffalo, New York.
A world-leading industrial gases company in operation for over 80 years, Air Products is focused on serving energy, environmental and emerging markets, a release said.
“Given the increasing number of projects in the United States and Canada, and the evolving footprint of our industrial gas business, additional offices in these locations will place our business in a strong position,” said Anthony Buzzeo, Air Products’ general manager – Americas. “We have strategically located these new execution offices close to our project sites, which has several benefits including access to a strong technical talent pool and proximity to several distinguished engineering schools.”
The Buffalo office will initially have approximately 75 employees, and the Alberta office will include over 40 employees. The Global Engineering and Manufacturing Technology Equipment offices will be a cross-functional space including executives, engineering, product, process gas, and air separation unit product line functions. The expansions will further strengthen collaboration between Air Products’ existing technical and large-project teams in the United States (Allentown, Houston), Europe (Hersham (UK) and Netherlands), Asia (Shanghai, Nanjing) and India (Pune, Vadodara).
The Alberta facility will make Edmonton the center of Canada’s hydrogen economy and “set the stage for Air Products to operate one of the most competitive and lowest-carbon-intensity hydrogen networks in the world,” the release said.
These two hydrogen projects are among several announced by Air Products and already in execution around the world.
