Malaysia’s industrial gas company MOX, now a member of global gases and engineering company The Linde Group, has revealed it has brought on stream two new plants with an investment of approximately RM100m in the past six months.
The first of the two plants, in Shah Alam, was commissioned at the end of 2007 and the second plant in Penang was commissioned just last month, with the new facilities adding a further 400 tonnes per day capacity for MOX.
In addition, as part of its aggressive growth and investment strategy in Malaysia, MOX will further invest around RM250m to expand production capacity over the next two years, according to its newly appointed country head for Malaysia, Mr Wong Siew Yap.
“This will be one of the largest investment tranche seen in the 48-year history of MOX.

The plants are scheduled to be completed by early 2009,” Wong said in a statement of late.
