Company Overview

Chart Industries, Inc. is a global engineering and manufacturing company focused on highly engineered equipment for the industrial gas, energy, and specialty chemical markets. The company operates primarily within the industrial gases, liquefied natural gas (LNG), hydrogen, carbon capture, and clean energy industries, supplying critical infrastructure used in the production, storage, distribution, and end-use of cryogenic and high-pressure gases. Its products are integral to applications across energy, healthcare, food and beverage, electronics, metals, and environmental solutions.

The company’s primary revenue drivers include cryogenic equipment, heat transfer systems, gas processing technologies, and related services. Chart has developed a differentiated position through its vertically integrated manufacturing capabilities and proprietary technologies that span the full gas value chain—from gas production to end-use. Founded in 1859 through predecessor entities and later consolidated into Chart Industries, the company has evolved through organic development and acquisitions into a diversified global supplier of mission-critical equipment, with increasing emphasis on clean energy and decarbonization solutions.

Business Operations

Chart Industries generates revenue through multiple operating segments that deliver engineered equipment, systems, and aftermarket services. Its core businesses include Cryo Tank Solutions, Heat Transfer Systems, Specialty Products, and Repair, Service & Leasing, serving both original equipment and recurring aftermarket demand. The company designs and manufactures vacuum-insulated products, brazed aluminum heat exchangers, air-cooled heat exchangers, cold boxes, and gas processing systems used in LNG liquefaction, hydrogen production, industrial gas separation, and carbon capture applications.

Operations are conducted through a combination of domestic and international manufacturing facilities, engineering centers, and service hubs. Chart controls key proprietary technologies in cryogenics, thermal management, and gas processing, which are deployed across integrated product offerings. The company operates through numerous wholly owned subsidiaries and maintains long-term relationships with major energy producers, industrial gas companies, and engineering, procurement, and construction firms, enabling repeat business and lifecycle service revenue.

Strategic Position & Investments

Chart’s strategic direction centers on expanding its role in the global energy transition while maintaining leadership in traditional industrial gas and LNG infrastructure. Growth initiatives emphasize hydrogen, carbon capture, water treatment, and clean energy applications, alongside continued investment in aftermarket services to enhance recurring revenue and margin stability. The company has pursued scale and capability expansion through acquisitions, most notably the acquisition of Howden, which significantly broadened its compression, air, and gas handling portfolio.

The company also owns and operates several technology-focused subsidiaries that support emerging markets, including Earthly Labs for carbon capture solutions and Sustainable Energy Solutions for hydrogen and clean fuel infrastructure. Chart continues to invest in research and development aimed at improving efficiency, lowering emissions, and enabling modular, scalable solutions for low-carbon energy systems. Data inconclusive based on available public sources regarding the long-term financial performance contribution of specific early-stage clean energy investments.

Geographic Footprint

Chart Industries maintains a broad global footprint with operations spanning North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, the Middle East, and Latin America. The company is headquartered in Ball Ground, Georgia, United States, and operates manufacturing facilities and service centers across multiple continents to support regional customers and large-scale international projects.

International markets represent a significant portion of revenue, particularly in LNG infrastructure, industrial gas processing, and energy transition projects. Chart’s geographic diversification allows it to participate in major global energy developments while mitigating reliance on any single end market. The company’s global supply chain and localized engineering capabilities support multinational customers with consistent product standards and regulatory compliance.

Leadership & Governance

Chart Industries is led by an executive team with extensive experience in industrial manufacturing, energy infrastructure, and global operations. Leadership emphasizes operational excellence, disciplined capital allocation, and strategic positioning around long-term energy and sustainability trends. The company operates under a standard U.S. public company governance framework, with oversight provided by an independent board of directors.

Key executives include:

• Jillian C. Evanko – President and Chief Executive Officer
• Michael K. Smith – Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer
• Scott L. Loehr – Executive Vice President and Chief Human Resources Officer
• Carey J. Chen – Senior Vice President, Strategy and Corporate Development

The leadership team’s strategic vision focuses on leveraging Chart’s engineering expertise and installed base to capture growth in both traditional and emerging energy markets while maintaining financial discipline and shareholder value creation.
