MR YAXLEY ADVISED INDUSTRIALISTS THINKING OF MOVING TO THE RAPIDLY DEVELOPING AREA OF TAI PO TO LOSE NO TIME IN CONTACTING THE MANAGEMENT TO REGISTER THE IR INTEREST.
+ IN PARTICULAR I RECOMMEND TO POTENTIAL INVESTORS THE CORPORATION'S NEW VENTURE IN SINGLE-STOREY PREFABRICATED STANDARD FACTOR IES, + HE SAID.
OF THE 45 HECTARES CURRENTLY FORMED AT THE TAI PO ESTATE. 37 HECTARES HAVE BEEN LEASED LEAVING ONLY EIGHT HECTARES STILL AVAILABLE. AN ADDITIONAL 13 HECTARES IS BEING FORMED, AND WILL BE AVAILABLE IN 1987.
HONG KONG OXYGEN WAS ESTABLISHED IN 1962 AS A JOINT VENTURE BETWEEN THE BRITISH OXYGEN COMPANY LIMITED AND L'AIR LIQUIDE OF FRANCE TO MANUFACTURE A RANGE OF INDUSTRIAL AND MEDICAL GASES WHICH ARE WIDELY USED BY LOCAL INDUSTRIALISTS.
IN THE NEW GAS CENTRE, MAJOR PRODUCTS WOULD INCLUDE HELIUM AND OTHER GASES REQUIRED FOR THE OFFSHORE OIL INDUSTRY IN THE SOUTH CHINA SEA, AND SPECIAL GAS MIXTURES FOR HOSPITALS, RESEARCH LABORATORIES AND TO SERVE THE ELECTRONICS INDUSTRY, PARTICULARLY THE WAFER FABRICATION SECTOR.
OF HONG KONG OXYGEN'S SITE IN TAI PO, MR YAXLEY SAID IT WAS SPECIALLY SUITABLE SINCE A NUMBER OF ITS CUSTOMERS WOULD BE LOCATED THERE AND IT WOULD BE AN IDEAL DISTRIBUTION CENTRE FOR THE NEW TERRITORIES.
