CHARBONE ANNOUNCES THE ADDITION OF 22 NEW HELIUM CUSTOMERS IN QUEBEC AND CONTINUES THE EXPANSION OF ITS INDUSTRIAL GAS PLATFORM

Charbone Corp. has added 22 new helium customers across Quebec in recent months.

These new 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 and 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 ultrahigh-purity specialty industrial gases.

"Our vision is clear: to make Charbone a leading North American player in industrial gases and ultrahigh-purity gases for the strategic sectors of tomorrow," added Mr. Gagnon. "Each new customer increases our recurring revenue, our market presence and the long-term value of our platform."
