The new air separation unit will address the growing demand for industrial gases in the southern part of the U.S. Production is scheduled to begin in the second half of 2026.

"Our new ASU in Berryville underscores Messer's commitment to fueling growth in the South," said Elena Skvortsova, President & CEO of Messer Americas. “This investment reflects our dedication to providing a dependable supply of industrial gases like oxygen and nitrogen to meet the evolving needs of our customers in food and beverage, healthcare, metals, chemicals, and many more industries. I also would like to note that Messer appreciates the working relationship with the City of Berryville. Without their dedication to this project, it would not have been possible.”
