Recently, Kaifeng DEAR Air Separation Industrial Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "DEAR Air Separation") officially signed a cooperation agreement for the "Independent Operation Gas Island Supply Project" with Indonesia's PT Gunung Raja Paksi (hereinafter referred to as "Gunung Steel"). This project marks another "self-operated gas island project" in Southeast Asia, following the company's strategic deployments in the Middle East, Africa, and European markets. The project will provide a stable supply of oxygen, nitrogen, and argon for Gunung Steel Group's steelmaking processes, including blast furnaces and electric arc furnaces.
DEAR Air Separation has always closely followed the national "Dual-Carbon" strategy and the "Artificial Intelligence+" development direction. In this cooperation with Indonesia's Gunung Steel, the company will invest in and construct an intelligent, energy-saving, safe, and efficient cryogenic Air Separation unit. This not only reflects DEAR Air Separation's technical strength and development philosophy but also demonstrates its commitment to introducing advanced concepts integrating "Dual-Carbon" goals and "intelligent innovation" to overseas markets. This allows international clients to deeply experience the performance of domestically developed high-end Air Separation technology while sharing in the high-quality development outcomes aligned with global sustainable development trends.
The successful signing of this project further solidifies DEAR Air Separation's position in the international industrial gases sector. The investment and construction of overseas "self-operated gas island projects" pose stringent challenges to a company's capital, technology, and compliance capabilities. DEAR Air Separation has fully demonstrated its exceptional capabilities in global operations, from capital reserves to localized operational deployments. Simultaneously, the company has achieved a transition from equipment supplier to full-cycle service provider: leveraging over a decade of experience in industrial gas investment and operation, DEAR Air Separation has built a complete "DEAR Operation and Maintenance System." Currently, this "technology + service" full-cycle delivery model is continuously reshaping the competitive landscape of the international Air Separation market.
DEAR Air Separation's project in Indonesia is not merely "business expansion overseas" but a comprehensive embodiment of "capability expansion" and "industrial chain expansion." For the company, it represents a critical leap from a "domestic Air Separation enterprise" to a "global operator." For the target market (Indonesia), it signals accelerated industrialization. For the industry, it marks the beginning of a restructuring of the international Air Separation market competition landscape. For the industrial chain, it serves as a powerful validation of the reliability of domestically produced equipment and cross-border collaboration capabilities. Behind this breakthrough lies both the regional shift in global industrial gas demand and a vivid microcosm of China's high-end manufacturing transitioning from "following to running alongside" global leaders.
