According to the Phoenix Business Journal, Air Products, a major chemical and gas distributor, will be building a spin-off company and locate the headquarters to Tempe, Arizona.

The parent company already has offices at the Arizona State University Research Park in Tempe and will place their new company, Versum Materials, close by.
