Airgas Inc. Opens Specialty Gas Facility In Tooele, Utah

05/05/2015
Airgas Inc. one of the nation's leading suppliers of industrial, medical, and specialty gases, and related products, opened its new 20,000 square foot specialty gas facility in Tooele, Utah.

According to company officials, the state-of-the-art facility will provide a critical link in the supply chain for high-purity and precision-blended specialty gases used in research and commercial laboratories, environmental monitoring, and manufacturing. The new facility will also contribute to the economic vitality of the region by bringing 25 full-time jobs to Tooele County and strengthening the manufacturing industry within the state.

“By expanding our specialty gas footprint in Utah, we are able to increase our capacity to serve our customers throughout the Western states, while also investing in and bringing jobs to the region,” said Michael L. Molinini, Airgas President/CEO. “Airgas is very proud to be joining the community of Tooele, and we look forward to successful partnerships with the residents, businesses and civic associations of the region for many years to come.”

As an incentive the project was made possible, in part, by a post-performance Economic Development Tax Increment Finance incentive awarded by the Utah Governor’s Office of Economic Development.
