Air Products (NYSE:APD) today announced a $25,000 grant from the Air Products Foundation in support of the Buffalo Niagara Partnership (BNP), the area’s regional chamber of commerce and economic development organization.
The contribution will assist with the development and execution of strategic programs that support the growth and economic vitality of the region under the leadership of the BNP.
“This location is key to Air Products’ growth, and Buffalo provides a strong base of outstanding talent, including several prominent engineering schools,” said Anthony Buzzeo, Air Products’ General Manager – Americas. “We look forward to continuing to deepen our commitment to western New York as we build a longstanding presence and engage with the community.”
“The Buffalo Niagara Partnership appreciates Air Products’ commitment to our organization and the work we are doing to not only help employers grow and thrive in our community but also build an economy that works for everyone across our region,” said Dottie Gallagher, President & CEO, Buffalo Niagara Partnership. “We welcome Air Products to the Buffalo/Niagara region and are excited about partnering with them to accomplish our shared goals.”
Earlier this year, Air Products announced that it will open a new project delivery office in Buffalo. The office will serve as a cross-functional space for the Global Engineering and Manufacturing Technology Equipment (GEMTE) unit and include engineering, product, process gas and air separation unit product line functions.
The Buffalo office will have approximately 75 employees and Air Products continues to actively hire for engineering, project management and procurement positions in the region.
“Air Products is honored to join the Buffalo Niagara Partnership because we share the same values and a sincere and sustained commitment to the community,” said Sharon Downs, Air Products’ Americas Supply Chain Delivery Director. “We are excited to work side-by-side with the BNP team and engage with so many dedicated community partners in Buffalo.”
The Buffalo office will execute projects throughout the Americas, including an announced green liquid hydrogen facility in Massena, NY. There, Air Products, the world leading hydrogen supplier and a first mover developing and executing low-carbon hydrogen megaprojects, announced plans to invest approximately $500 million to build, own and operate a 35 metric ton per day facility to produce green liquid hydrogen at a greenfield site. Air Products will also build a liquid hydrogen distribution and dispensing operation in the area.
