Company Overview

SK airplus, established in 2007, is a company specializing in the production of high-purity industrial gases. It operates large-scale production facilities in major domestic hubs including Ulsan, where its headquarters are located, as well as Cheongju and Gumi, establishing a stable supply infrastructure. Through Air Separation Units (ASU), air is cooled and separated to produce industrial gases such as nitrogen, oxygen, and argon, and by purifying CO₂—a by-product of petrochemical processes—the company manufactures ultra-high-purity liquid carbon dioxide and dry ice products. Flexible supply methods such as Tonnage (direct gas supply via pipelines after installing gas production facilities within the client’s factory or on an adjacent site) and Bulk (transportation of gas in liquid form by tanker truck, before supplying it to storage tanks on the client’s premises) are used to deliver optimal gas solutions to clients across a wide range of industries, including semiconductors, petrochemicals, and food processing. Leveraging stable demand from the petrochemical and refining sectors, SK airplus began supplying industrial gases to the semiconductor industry in 2017 and has continued to meet growing demand from semiconductor customers in areas such as Yongin and Cheongju. Efforts will continue to enhance quality and production stability, further strengthening gas supply capabilities within the semiconductor industry.
