CLEVELAND (March 28, 2014) – Sam Thomas, Chairman, CEO and President of Chart Industries, Inc., gathered with company, state and local dignitaries, and more than 200 current and former employees, at the ribbon cutting ceremony to formally dedicate the expansion of Chart's brazed aluminum heat exchanger (BAHX) manufacturing plant in La Crosse, Wis. The $50 million project increases the manufacturing capacity for Chart's proprietary heat exchangers by 40 percent, doubles the engineering space and includes an additional vacuum brazing furnace, which is the largest of its type in the world. "The capacity expansion is an integral part of Chart's overall growth strategy and is good news for our global customer base and the local community," commented Mike Durkin, President of Chart Energy & Chemicals. "It furthers our ability to support our customers with market leading delivery schedules, and creates jobs for semi-skilled, skilled and graduate personnel." Chart manufactures highly engineered equipment used in the production, storage and end-use of hydrocarbon and industrial gases.
