Chart Industries

Chart Industries (NYSE: GTLS) manufactures highly engineered equipment for the clean energy and industrial gas markets. The company's product portfolio spans cryogenic tanks, brazed aluminum heat exchangers, compressors, and fans, sold under brands like Howden, Chart Ferox, and ChartWater. Its corporate headquarters is in Ball Ground, Georgia. Chart's strategy deploys across four segments: Gas Storage & Distribution, Heat Transfer Systems, Rotating & Compression, and Aftermarket. It serves multiple asset classes including hydrogen, LNG, CO2, and industrial gases. Its modular LNG liquefaction plants and hydrogen fueling stations illustrate its end-market breadth. The company's geographic footprint covers North America, Europe, India, China, and South Africa, with sales and service operations on every continent except Antarctica. The firm employs a global workforce but does not disclose total headcount. It operates through subsidiaries including Howden (fans and compressors), Chart Ferox (European cryogenic heritage), and ChartWater (water treatment). Its additional offices include Montreal, London, Berkeley, Vancouver, Singapore, San Ramon, Ottawa, and New York. Chart's structural differentiator is its ownership of the full cryogenic supply chain — from upfront engineering through manufacturing to aftermarket service — an unusually vertical integration for a publicly traded industrial equipment manufacturer. This model gives Chart recurring revenue on repairs and parts while it sells large-scale liquefaction plants. Its pending merger with Baker Hughes (announced 2025) would extend its industrial reach further into energy infrastructure.
