Key Takeaways

  • Hudson signed a Solstice deal to reclaim and resell R-448A and R-449A refrigerants in North America.
  • HDSN targets growth as low-GWP refrigerants gain traction and legacy refrigerants are phased down.
  • The agreement builds on Solstice ties and supports Hudson's expansion in sustainable solutions.

Hudson Technologies, Inc. (HDSN - Free Report) has entered into a licensing agreement with Solstice Advanced Materials for the reclamation and resale of R-448A and R-449A refrigerants across the United States and Canada. The patented HFO refrigerant blends are increasingly being adopted as lower GWP alternatives in accordance with the AIM Act.

By securing rights under this agreement, Hudson is positioning itself to move on the opportunity to grow its presence in the commercial refrigeration space by enabling reclamation and resale of patented next-generation lower GWP refrigerants. The phase-down of legacy refrigerants such as R-404A and R-507 has mandated this transition.

The agreement is built on the company’s longstanding relationship with Solstice and aligns with the strategic expansion of its sales and services amid environmental regulations. Hudson, one of the leading providers of innovative and sustainable refrigerant products and services to the Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning and Refrigeration Industry, is now expected to benefit by achieving environmental goals and long-term business growth.

HDSN stock has lost 6.6% over the past year compared with the industry’s 5.6% decline.
