The company is one of the leading industrial gas manufacturers in the region, specialising in production of oxygen, nitrogen and argon and has been operating there for the past 25 years. Successfully seeing steady growth, NOX is keen to capitalise on this and expand, with plans to plough more capital into investments and operations.

Shigeto Umatani, managing director of National Oxygen, told Channel NewsAsia, “We are planning to invest not only in Singapore, but in Malaysia Indonesia and Batam. We are going to start with a new refilling station for downstream business in Batam, Indonesia, and we are planning to set up a new on-site gas plant in Malaysia.
