Charbone Corporation has announced securing additional orders from an existing U.S. customer based in New York State, including new orders for clean Ultra High Purity hydrogen and the company's first order for UHP oxygen. This development follows an initial order announced on January 14, 2026, and represents continued collaboration with the customer, strengthening Charbone's position in what it considers a strategic market for future growth. The company, which focuses primarily on clean UHP hydrogen production, also delivers complementary industrial gases like oxygen, helium, and other specialty gases to support customer requirements. The addition of a UHP oxygen order alongside UHP hydrogen is viewed as an important milestone in Charbone's roadmap to develop a multi-molecule platform of UHP industrial gases. This strategy aligns with the needs of advanced technology and industrial sectors, particularly in the American "Tech Valley" region.
Dave Gagnon, Charbone's Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board, stated that these new orders confirm the strengthening relationship with the existing customer and the relevance of the company's diversification strategy. The objective is to offer reliable supply and first-class purity standards to meet the highest demands of technology and industrial markets in North America. Charbone's approach involves developing a network of clean hydrogen production facilities throughout North America and select markets abroad, starting with its flagship Sorel-Tracy project in Quebec. The company's integrated model aims to reduce risk, enhance scalability, and enable diversified revenue streams through partnerships in helium and other specialty gases.
