Charbone Corporation (TSXV: CH; OTCQB: CHHYF; FSE: K47), a North American producer and distributor of clean ultra-high purity (UHP) hydrogen and industrial gases, announced the refilling of a dedicated helium trailer to serve an existing customer in Ontario. This operation marks the continued expansion of the company's helium division, initially launched in 2025, and aligns with its strategy to build an integrated platform for strategic industrial gas distribution across North America.
The Type 1 cylinder trailer, specifically dedicated to helium, was refilled under a current supply agreement with an independent distributor in Ontario. This demonstrates Charbone's operational capability to deliver reliable and recurring service in a high-demand market, as illustrated in this image.
Charbone emphasizes that helium represents a complementary pillar to its core UHP hydrogen business, allowing the company to diversify revenue streams while optimizing its logistics network and customer relationships. In the current context of geopolitical tensions and supply constraints in global helium markets, Charbone is well positioned, having anticipated this segment's development as previously announced in press releases dated March 31, 2025, and October 23, 2025.
"Our decision to integrate helium into our offering reflects a clear vision: to build a complete and resilient industrial gas company capable of serving our customers with diversified and secure solutions," said Dave Gagnon, Charbone's Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board. "In an uncertain global environment, our ability to reliably deliver critical molecules such as helium and hydrogen becomes a key competitive advantage."
The company intends to continue developing its helium division across North America by leveraging its supply partnerships, logistics capabilities, and sustained demand growth from key sectors such as electronics, healthcare, advanced manufacturing, and high-tech industries.
Charbone is a developer and producer of clean UHP hydrogen with a growing industrial gas distribution platform. Through a modular approach, it focuses on 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 reduces risk, enhances scalability, and enables diversified revenue streams through partnerships in helium and other specialty gases. Charbone is listed on the TSX Venture Exchange (TSXV: CH), the OTC Markets (OTCQB: CHHYF), and the Frankfurt Stock Exchange (FSE: K47). More information is available at www.charbone.com.
