CHARBONE CORPORATION (TSXV: CH; OTCQB: CHHYF; FSE: K47), a vertically integrated industrial gases company, has announced the addition of twenty-two new helium customers across Quebec in recent months. The customers come from various industrial sectors, including advanced manufacturing, welding and metal processing, laboratories, specialized technical services, and other industrial applications requiring a reliable supply of helium.
This commercial growth demonstrates CHARBONE's ability to meet the needs of the Quebec market while continuing the development of its Helium division, launched in 2025. The company continues to expand its presence in the Canadian industrial gas market through a strategy focused on security of supply, close customer relationships, and operational excellence.
“The arrival of 22 new clients represents an important step in the development of our Helium division and confirms the relevance of our diversification strategy,” said Dave Gagnon, Chairman & Chief Executive Officer of CHARBONE. “We are seeing growing demand for a reliable and agile alternative in the industrial gases sector. This growth demonstrates our ability to progressively build a North American industrial gases platform that perfectly complements our UHP hydrogen business.”
The company is actively pursuing the development of its customer portfolio in Quebec, Ontario, the Atlantic provinces, and the United States, while expanding its product offering to include hydrogen, helium, oxygen, nitrogen, argon, and other ultra-high-purity (UHP) specialty industrial gases. “Our vision is clear: to make CHARBONE a leading North American player in industrial gases and ultra-high-purity gases for the strategic sectors of tomorrow,” added Gagnon. “Each new customer increases our recurring revenue, our market presence, and the long-term value of our platform.”
CHARBONE is a vertically integrated industrial gases company focused on developing and operating a network of supply hubs for the production, storage, and distribution of UHP strategic industrial gases. The company serves customers across sectors including semiconductors, artificial intelligence and data centers, advanced pharmaceuticals, and aerospace and defense technologies, where UHP gases are critical for high-precision manufacturing processes and operational performance. The company is advancing a network of clean UHP hydrogen production facilities across North America and selected international markets. Its modular, decentralized, and demand-driven approach, combined with its integrated storage and distribution platform for all UHP gases, supports scalable growth, enhances operational flexibility, and enables more stable and diversified revenue generation.
This model allows CHARBONE to efficiently serve mid-tier industrial gas customers with a reliable supply of UHP gases, including hydrogen, helium, oxygen, and other high-demand gases that are often difficult to source. The company is committed to supporting the global transition to a lower-carbon economy by providing accessible, decentralized clean hydrogen and specialty gases, while addressing supply gaps for underserved industrial customers and accelerating the shift towards localized clean energy.
The addition of 22 helium customers in Quebec underscores the growing importance of reliable industrial gas supply in the region. Helium is essential for many high-tech and industrial processes, and CHARBONE's expansion into helium distribution provides an alternative source for Quebec businesses. This development could reduce dependence on traditional suppliers and enhance supply chain resilience for local industries. As CHARBONE continues to expand its customer base and product offerings, it positions itself as a key player in the North American industrial gases market, potentially impacting sectors that rely on UHP gases for advanced manufacturing and technology.
