Brazilian industrial gas figurehead, Industria Brasileira de Gases (IBG), has made significant investment in the São Paulo region with its second carbon dioxide production plant.
The Descalvado facility enjoyed approximately R$18,0m of investment and now spans 14,000 square metres. Located 240km from São Paulo city, the plant has been designed to double IBG’s production capacity.
