Air Products Membrane Solutions has plans to expand its manufacturing and logistics center in Maryland Heights, Missouri. The new manufacturing facility is expected to be in production by the end of 2025.

Lehigh Valley/USA – Air Products will invest more than 70 million dollars to significantly expand its manufacturing and logistics center in Maryland Heights, near St. Louis, Missouri. The investment, which is Air Products Membrane Solutions' largest ever, is driven by growing product demand in biogas and hydrogen recovery applications, as well as customer needs for the use of nitrogen for the aerospace industry and cleaner fuels for the marine industry.

"We are excited to announce this investment to significantly expand the footprint and production capacity of our St. Louis manufacturing and logistics center. This expansion shows our commitment to continue to be a leader in the energy transition by creating innovative products for a safer, cleaner and more productive world," said Dr. Erin Sorensen, general manager, Air Products Membrane Solutions. "This expansion also highlights our ongoing commitment to the local community and our talented and motivated employees in the region. We are proud to continue to grow and expand our global manufacturing capabilities in the United States in St. Louis."

The new manufacturing facility is expected to be in production by the end of 2025 and include the addition of 30 new positions. Currently, about 170 employees work at the St. Louis facility. This expansion follows a previous 10-million-dollar investment made in 2023 to increase production capacity at the current facility.
