WOODCLIFF LAKE, N.J., Dec. 17, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Hudson Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: HDSN) a leading provider of innovative and sustainable refrigerant products and services to the Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning and Refrigeration Industry – and one of the nation’s largest refrigerant reclaimers - has announced the acquisition of Refrigerants Inc., an EPA- certified reclaimer and refrigerant distributor based in Denver, Colorado. The initial purchase price of $2.5 million is subject to customary post-closing adjustments.

With more than two decades in the industry, Refrigerants Inc. offers a full range of refrigerant lifecycle management services including refrigerant buyback, sales and distribution, cylinder exchange, onsite recovery, and reclamation, among others.

Kenneth Gaglione, President and Chief Executive Officer of Hudson Technologies commented, “Our acquisition of Refrigerants Inc. is consistent with previous accretive acquisitions that have delivered organic growth in our core refrigerants reclamation business by expanding access to repeatable sources of recovered refrigerant. The Refrigerants Inc. acquisition is immaterial to our financial results but expands our reach in key markets for both refrigerant sales and the aftermarket supply chain of recovered refrigerant that is essential to the practices of reclamation and responsible refrigerant management.

“The AIM Act’s continued phase-down of the supply of virgin HFC refrigerants, with a significant reduction scheduled for 2029, makes the aftermarket supply chain of HFC refrigerants even more critical. Refrigerants Inc. has been a valued partner of Hudson’s for many years and brings in a large and longstanding customer base of contractors which will allow us to expand our access to field technicians who are recovering and returning aftermarket refrigerant and to grow our recovered refrigerant volume. This is consistent with our long-term view and capital allocation strategy.

“We’re excited to welcome the talented Refrigerants Inc. team to Hudson and look forward to leveraging their expertise to drive growth and expand our leadership position in the reclamation industry.”
