Linde PLC said Monday that it plans to expand production capacity at its air separation plant in Florida in order to meet rising demand for industrial gases.

The industrial gases and engineering company said it would increase capacity by almost 50% at its Mims site to supply contracted customers across a number of markets, including aerospace, healthcare and food processing.

The expansion project should be completed in 2023, according to Linde.
