For the booming photovoltaic industry, the Group is innovating and offering turnkey solutions, including the supply of gas and equipment, as well as associated support services.

The Group has just signed a contract with Chinese company Best Solar, which is constructing one of the world’s largest thin film solar cell production sites. In addition, Air Liquide continues to support the electronics industry in its manufacturing of ever more powerful microchips. The Group has developed the new ALOHA range of “advanced precursors”, which are designed on demand to match the exact process requirements of its semiconductor customers. Air Liquide also provides customers with an extended offer, which includes chemical equipment and piping installation for the distribution of ultra high purity fluids.

Air Liquide is also aiming to meet the growing demand for electronic specialty gases (ESGs) by investing in filling centers for gases such as silane.
