Hudson Technologies Expands Refrigerant Operations Through New Agreement
Hudson Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: HDSN), a leading provider of sustainable refrigerant products and services, announced on March 27, 2026, that it has signed a licensing agreement with Solstice Advanced Materials (NASDAQ: SOLS) for the reclamation and resale of R-448A and R-449A refrigerants, according to GlobeNewswire PE. These patented HFO refrigerant blends serve as alternatives to higher GWP HFC refrigerants in the supermarket segment, in line with the AIM Act.
Details of the Licensing Agreement
The agreement permits Hudson Technologies to reclaim and resell R-448A and R-449A in the United States and Canada, building on the company’s role as one of the nation’s largest refrigerant reclaimers. Ken Gaglione, President and Chief Executive Officer of Hudson Technologies, stated that the deal enables growth in the commercial refrigeration space by addressing the phase-down of legacy refrigerants like R-404A and R-507 under national and local regulations.
Company Background and Services
Hudson Technologies has operated for nearly three decades as a provider of refrigerant management services, including reclamation and system decontamination for commercial air conditioning and industrial systems, according to GlobeNewswire PE. As a widely-known context, the AIM Act aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from refrigerants, which aligns with Hudson’s focus on lower-GWP options like R-448A and R-449A.
Strategic Focus
The agreement with Solstice Advanced Materials expands Hudson’s sales and service capabilities for next-generation refrigerants, leveraging their long-term relationship and commitment to sustainable practices, as noted in the announcement.
