Material Planner

Ensuring Chart’s Success…

“Cooler Together” - Chart’s principal focus is the design and fabrication of cryogenic equipment; so that’s how we got our “Cooler By Design®” tagline.  Of course, we think the stuff we design and build is pretty cool too. What’s more, we’re problem solvers and strive to work together as a team, making us “Cooler Together”.  With our recent acquisition of Howden, we’re also “Stronger Together”. 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 at site. The applications we service are pretty diverse (and cool) too. Interested to learn more?
