ANYONE WHO NEEDS OXYGEN IN PERU CAN HARDLY IGNORE GERMAN COMPANIES

THE DEMAND HAS TRIPLED

 the need for oxygen has tripled during the corona pandemic. And the two main suppliers of liquid oxygen in Peru couldn't keep up with the delivery. Praxair-Linde and Airproducts practically had a monopoly on oxygen delivery in Peru. Only they could produce 99% oxygen, as prescribed by the Peruvian standard. Their contracts with the hospitals also included the supply of tanks and oxygen bottles. Even when the oxygen was available, there was often a lack of bottles and tanks to fill it up. After all, Airproducts has put an already abandoned liquid oxygen plant in Chimbote back into operation.

Inmatec is a market leader in oxygen supply units for hospitals. "We were already in talks with Peru before Corona started and had received the necessary permits," reports Marvin Wolf, who is responsible for Peru at Inmatec, in an interview with InfoPeru. In the first months after the outbreak of the pandemic, they received 40-50 inquiries daily from Peru, some from small communities, and the first system was delivered in May. Inmatec had delivered 30 oxygen systems to Peru by the end of October, 80% of which were already in operation at the end of October, reports Wolf.
