Messer Industriegase is now licensed to produce medical oxygen at its air separation plant in Siegen-Geisweid. This marks the second medical gas filling plant for Messer Industriegase; the company's Siegen, Kaan-Marienborn facility received authorization to produce oxygen for medical purposes in accordance with Para. 13 of the German Medical Preparations Act by the district government of Arnsberg in April 2009.
Additionally, by expanding the Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) management system for oxygen production at the air separation plant, Messer Industriegase now meets all EU requirements at both facilities in Siegen and looks forward to future growth within the strictly-regulated German medical gases sector.
