Outline of Business

We operate our business in East Asian and Southeast Asian countries and regions, and Australia. Our business in Asia and Oceania started in earnest from Singapore in 1982. By the 1990s, this initial milestone was followed by expansions into Thailand, China, the Philippines, South Korea, Taiwan, and Vietnam. In the 2000s, we continued expanding into India, Indonesia, Australia, and Myanmar. The industrial gases business operates mainly in Australia, Southeast Asian countries, China, and India, and the electronics business in East Asia including China, Taiwan, and South Korea.
