Brossard, Quebec, February 25, 2026 – CHARBONE CORPORATION (TSXV: CH; OTCQB: CHHYF; FSE: K47) (“CHARBONE” or the “Company”), a North American producer and distributor specializing in clean Ultra High Purity (“UHP”) hydrogen and strategic industrial gases, is pleased to announce that, further to its press release dated January 14, 2026, the Company has secured additional orders from an existing U.S. customer based in New York State.
The customer has placed new orders for clean UHP hydrogen, produced and distributed by CHARBONE, and placed its first order for UHP oxygen. While CHARBONE’s production activities remain focused on clean UHP hydrogen, the Company delivers also complementary industrial gases like oxygen, helium, and other specialty gases to support customer requirements.
Strengthening customer relationships in a strategic market: New York State
Following the announcement on January 14, 2026, regarding an initial order for clean UHP hydrogen from a US customer located in New York State, CHARBONE indicates that this customer is continuing its collaboration with CHARBONE. The new order for CHARBONE’s UHP hydrogen, combined with an initial order for UHP oxygen, represents a further step in CHARBONE’s commercial deployment in the United States, a strategic market for future growth.
Diversification of UHP offerings: hydrogen and oxygen
CHARBONE considers the addition of an order for UHP oxygen to its order book, alongside UHP hydrogen, to be an important milestone in its roadmap: developing a multi-molecule platform of UHP industrial gases, aligned with the needs of advanced technology and industrial sectors, particularly in the American “Tech Valley”.
“These new orders, now including distribution and delivery of UHP oxygen, confirm not only that the relationship with our existing customer in New York State is strengthening, but also the relevance of our strategy to diversify into UHP industrial gases,” said Dave Gagnon, CHARBONE’s Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board. “Our objective is clear: to offer reliable supply and first-class purity standards in order to meet the highest demands of the technology and industrial markets in North America.”
