Greater KL gets new industrial gas plant as China’s Yingde Gases expands in Malaysia

NovaAir Industrial Gases Sdn Bhd, a unit of China-based Yingde Gases Group, is set to enhance the capacity utilization of its Kuala Lumpur plant to over 90% within two years, aiming to become one of Malaysia's top three industrial gas suppliers.

The company plans further expansion across Southeast Asia, focusing on operational efficiency, sustainability, and local talent development.

It inaugurated a 300-tonne-per-day liquid air separation unit (ASU) to support Malaysia's high-value manufacturing, aligning with NIMP 2030 and the Chemical Industry Roadmap 2030.

The facility utilizes advanced in-house air separation technology and AI-driven control systems to boost energy efficiency.

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 13 — China-based industrial gas producer Yingde Gases Group Co Ltd’s unit NovaAir Industrial Gases Sdn Bhd aims to raise the Kuala Lumpur plant’s capacity utilisation to above 90 per cent within two years.

NovaAir said in a joint statement that Yingde Gases plans to expand its investment in Malaysia over the next three to five years, with the ambition of positioning NovaAir among the country’s top three industrial gas suppliers.

“From its Malaysian regional headquarters, NovaAir also plans to pursue opportunities in Thailand, Vietnam and Indonesia, while continuing to focus on operational efficiency, sustainability and local talent development,” it said.

NovaAir said today it had inaugurated its 300-tonne-per-day liquid air separation unit (ASU) at UMW High-Value Manufacturing Park in Greater Kuala Lumpur, strengthening Malaysia’s domestic supply of essential industrial gases for high-value manufacturing and reinforcing the group’s long-term investment commitment to Malaysia.

Commissioned in August 2026, the facility supports growing demand for industrial gases across Malaysia’s manufacturing ecosystem and strengthens Yingde Gases’ presence in Southeast Asia.

Commenting on the launch, Malaysian Investment Development Authority (MIDA) chief executive officer Datuk Sikh Shamsul Ibrahim Sikh Abdul Majid said industrial gases may be unseen, but they are essential to the industries powering Malaysia’s next phase of growth.

“NovaAir’s investment strengthens this critical foundation, advancing the ambitions of NIMP 2030 and the Chemical Industry Roadmap 2030, while enabling stronger domestic supply chains, higher-value industrial activities and skilled employment opportunities for Malaysians,” he said.

Meanwhile, NovaAir general manager Charlene Quek said the company aims to forge deep, long-term partnerships with Malaysian businesses and contribute to Malaysia’s national industrial ambition.

“The Kuala Lumpur liquid ASU and Alliance Steel project together demonstrate our confidence and sustained investment in this market,” she said.

The Kuala Lumpur liquid ASU produces oxygen, nitrogen, argon and high-purity oxygen for downstream industries, including chemicals, electrical and electronics, oil and gas, food processing, steelmaking and new-energy lithium battery production.

Its proprietary air separation technology was developed and manufactured in-house by Yingde Engineering, the group’s engineering subsidiary, while artificial intelligence-driven control systems help improve energy efficiency and reduce the plant’s carbon footprint. — Bernama

中国英德气体集团旗下的NovaAir Industrial Gases Sdn Bhd公司计划在两年内将其吉隆坡工厂的产能利用率提高到90%以上，目标是成为马来西亚三大工业气体供应商之一。

该公司计划进一步拓展东南亚市场，重点关注运营效率、可持续发展和本地人才培养。

为支持马来西亚的高价值制造业，该公司启用了一套日处理量 300 吨的液体空气分离装置 (ASU)，以符合 2030 年国家工业发展计划 (NIMP 2030) 和 2030 年化学工业路线图。

该设施利用先进的自主研发空气分离技术和人工智能驱动的控制系统来提高能源效率。

吉隆坡，10 月 13 日讯——中国工业气体生产商英德气体集团有限公司旗下子公司 NovaAir Industrial Gases Sdn Bhd 计划在两年内将吉隆坡工厂的产能利用率提高到 90% 以上。

NovaAir在一份联合声明中表示，英德气体计划在未来三到五年内扩大在马来西亚的投资，目标是将NovaAir打造成为该国三大工业气体供应商之一。

“NovaAir 还计划从其马来西亚区域总部出发，寻求在泰国、越南和印度尼西亚的发展机遇，同时继续专注于运营效率、可持续发展和本地人才培养，”该公司表示。

NovaAir今天表示，其位于吉隆坡大都会区UMW高价值制造园区的日处理量300吨的液态空气分离装置（ASU）已正式启用，这将加强马来西亚国内对高价值制造业所需重要工业气体的供应，并巩固该集团对马来西亚的长期投资承诺。

该设施于 2026 年 8 月投入使用，旨在满足马来西亚制造业生态系统对工业气体日益增长的需求，并加强英德气体在东南亚的地位。

马来西亚投资发展局 (MIDA) 首席执行官 Datuk Sikh Shamsul Ibrahim Sikh Abdul Majid 在评论此次发布时表示，工业气体虽然看不见，但对于推动马来西亚下一阶段增长的产业来说至关重要。

“NovaAir 的投资巩固了这一关键基础，推进了 2030 年国家工业发展计划 (NIMP 2030) 和 2030 年化学工业路线图 (Chemical Industry Roadmap 2030) 的目标，同时增强了国内供应链，促进了更高价值的工业活动，并为马来西亚人创造了更多技术就业机会。”他说道。

与此同时，NovaAir总经理Charlene Quek表示，公司旨在与马来西亚企业建立深入、长期的合作伙伴关系，并为马来西亚的国家工业雄心做出贡献。

她表示：“吉隆坡液态空分装置和Alliance Steel项目共同体现了我们对这个市场的信心和持续投资。”

吉隆坡液态空分装置为下游行业生产氧气、氮气、氩气和高纯氧气，这些下游行业包括化工、电气和电子、石油和天然气、食品加工、钢铁制造和新能源锂电池生产。

其专有的空气分离技术由集团旗下工程子公司英德工程自主研发制造，而人工智能驱动的控制系统则有助于提高能源效率并减少工厂的碳排放。——马新社
