About Chart Industries INC

Chart Industries Inc. (NYSE: GTLS) is a U.S.-based industrial technology company focused on highly engineered equipment and systems for the handling, storage, transport, and distribution of cryogenic gases and liquids. Headquartered in Brentwood, New Hampshire, United States, the company was incorporated in 1992 and has built a global franchise around niche technologies serving liquid gas supply chains and clean-energy-adjacent applications. Its core identity is that of a specialized engineering and manufacturing platform rather than a commodity-heavy industrial producer, with competitive advantages rooted in cryogenic know-how, application engineering, product breadth, and an installed base that supports recurring aftermarket activity. Chart’s business is organized around the equipment and services required across the full lifecycle of liquid gases. The company designs and manufactures cryogenic storage and transport equipment, LNG-related systems, vaporization and heat-transfer solutions, gas handling equipment, ISO containers, fuel systems, liquid gas cylinders, medical oxygen products, microbulk storage systems, hazardous transport vehicles, and small-scale LNG vaporizers. It also provides repair, service, retrofitting, refurbishment, preventative and contractual maintenance, digital solutions, and equipment leasing. This mix gives Chart exposure to a wide range of end markets, including industrial gases, energy, power generation, chemicals, food and beverage, healthcare, and broader industrial infrastructure. From a market-positioning standpoint, Chart is widely regarded as a leading global supplier in cryogenic and gas-handling systems. Its differentiation comes from being able to deliver integrated solutions across multiple phases of the liquid gas value chain, from processing and storage to transport and end use. That breadth matters because it strengthens customer stickiness and supports cross-selling of equipment and services. The company’s products are used in applications linked to LNG infrastructure, carbon capture and CO2 handling, hydrogen, clean power, clean water, food processing, and medical gas supply. As a result, Chart has become an important industrial enabler within the broader energy-transition and industrial-decarbonization landscape. Geographically, Chart operates as a global business with manufacturing and service footprints across multiple regions, allowing it to serve customers in the United States and internationally. Its international reach is strategically important because demand for LNG, industrial gas infrastructure, and cryogenic systems is not confined to one market. For investors in French-speaking Europe, the key point is that Chart is a U.S. company listed on the NYSE, giving it direct access to North American capital markets while remaining globally exposed through its end-market mix. Recent corporate news has been especially significant. In July 2025, Baker Hughes announced a definitive agreement to acquire Chart Industries for cash, underscoring the strategic value of Chart’s technology base within the industrial energy ecosystem. In October 2025, Chart shareholders approved the acquisition, marking an important step in the transaction process. For equity investors, this makes Chart a special situation as well as an operating company: the stock is tied not only to underlying demand trends in cryogenic and LNG-related markets, but also to merger execution risk and the eventual integration path under Baker Hughes.
