DETAILS
announced today that it has entered into an agreement
to sell certain assets in the United States to
Matheson Tri-Gas, Inc. (“Matheson”),
a subsidiary of Taiyo Nippon Sanso Corporation
of Tokyo, Japan.
Upon closing, these divestitures to Matheson
would mark a significant milestone toward satisfying
the conditions required by
the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”)
in connection with
Air Liquide’s recently closed acquisition of Airgas.
Under the terms of the purchase agreements,
Matheson will acquire the following assets from Air Liquide:
- Eighteen air separation units in sixteen locations;
- Two nitrous oxide production facilities;
- Four liquid carbon dioxide production facilities
in four states, including
two dry ice production facilities; - Three Airgas retail packaged welding gas stores
in Alaska.
In addition, Air Liquide is currently in negotiations
to sell two of its facilities in Iowa
that produce both liquid carbon dioxide and dry ice,
which are the remaining assets ordered by
the FTC to be divested in connection with
Air Liquide’s acquisition of Airgas.
