Linde PLC said Wednesday that it has signed a long-term agreement with Hungarian chemical company BorsodChem Zrt. to supply nitrogen, oxygen and compressed air to its chemical complex in Kazincbarcika, in northern Hungary.

The industrial-gases and engineering company said it will construct a large air-separation unit in the country to meet rising demand for industrial gases and support the expansion of BorsodChem. The project is expected to be completed by the end of the year.
