Canadian industrial gases supplier Charbone announced Wednesday that it has shortened its official name in an effort to reflect a broader product offering.
The suburban Montreal company, previously named Charbone Hydrogen Corp., is now known simply as Charbone Corp. The company was launched to produce and distribute “clean ultra-high purity hydrogen” from a network of regional supply hubs, but it also partners with other producers to provide helium and other specialty industrial gases.
Company officials said that the new name “better captures the breadth of this platform and positions the company alongside established industrial gases leaders.”
“The formalization of our name to Charbone Corporation is more than a rebranding; it is a statement of intent,” Charbone Chairman and CEO Dave Gagnon said in a statement. “We are no longer just a hydrogen company. We are building a vertically integrated, multi-molecule industrial gases platform, and the name Charbone Corporation reflects that ambition.”
The company also said Wednesday that it has relocated its official headquarters to Varennes, Quebec, which offers a centralized location as well as close proximity to its flagship plant in Sorel-Tracy.
“We believe these changes reinforce our commitment to executing on our long-term strategic vision as a leading industrial gases platform in North America and beyond,” Gagnon said.
