Ensuring Chart’s Success…
“Cooler By Design” – Chart’s core business is centered around the design and fabrication of cryogenic equipment; so you can see where we get our tagline from, right? Well, yes and no – see, we think the products we design and build are pretty cool too. Also, we’re problem solvers. Customers don’t come to Chart with an equipment specification, they come to Chart with a challenge. That’s where you come in, because someone has to figure it out – all the way from conceptual design to installation and commissioning of equipment on-site. Chart’s mission is to provide full solutions across the Nexus of Clean™ – clean power, clean water, clean food, and clean industrials. The diverse applications we service echo our commitment to sustainability – from providing full hydrogen solutions across the value chain, offering small and industrial scale carbon capture solutions to customers globally, creating water treatment systems responsible for treating 4.5 billion gallons of water per day in the U.S. and delivering clean water to over a billion people worldwide, providing equipment and solutions for mission critical space launches, decarbonizing the marine industry, and electrifying the mining space. Chart even contributes to the food and beverage industry by making some of your favorite carbonated beverages possible – If nitro coffee or nitro ice cream is your thing – well, that’s Chart technology too (and it’s also cool)!
