Air Products entered into agreements with Bechtel Energy Inc., an EPC contractor on the Rio Grande LNG project.

The contract comes on the heels of the company’s announcement that it will be making a significant investment to meet industry demand with increased winding capacity at the manufacturing facility in Port Manatee.
