A-Gas has appointed Andrew Stride to the role of general manager for its Canadian operations and expanded business in Nova Scotia.
Stride joined A-Gas in 2021 and became the director of operations in Canada in 2023.
During his tenure leading A-Gas’ Canadian operations at the Hamilton site, Andrew has led the start-up facility in Stoney Creek, Ontario, from a greenfield location to a fully functioning down-packing refrigerant site.
He played a crucial role in the recent acquisition of Refrigerant Services Inc., a recognised brand in the Canadian refrigerant industry.
He successfully led the operations and management integration for the acquisition, helping to ensure that both companies’ high-quality services and customer focus continued.
Going forward, Stride will oversee the expansion of our operations and capabilities in the Canadian market.
In addition to offering virgin product, the A-Gas site in Ontario and RSI sites in Dartmouth have the capability to process and clean recovered refrigerant from the local market.
Used refrigerant sent to the facility will undergo chemical analysis at the onsite laboratory and will be reclaimed to AHRI-700 standards.
As a result, A-Gas will provide the Canadian market with high-speed refrigerant recovery, quality refrigerant supply, a unique and cost-effective refrigerant reclaim program, and on-site laboratory and analytical services.
