Matheson Tri-Gas has secured exclusive rights to the global sales and marketing of high purity germane (GeH4) from Gelest to be offered to the electronics and photovoltaic industries. Billed as a joint venture, the partners also plan to expand manufacturing of germane to meet future demand.
Matheson believes that its capabilities in high-purity specialty gases applications, R&D purification, and analysis for the electronics sector are best suited to offer Gelest production capabilities to both markets on a global basis.
Matheson Tri-Gas is the largest subsidiary of the Taiyo Nippon Sanso Corporation Group.
