Industrial gas major Linde will build a new air separation unit (ASU) in Brownsville, Texas, and increase capacity at its existing ASU in Mims, Florida, to support the US space industry.

Linde’s Brownsville ASU is expected to come online in Q1 2026 and, once operational, will support both the space industry and a broader base of industrial gas customers.
