Time to vote for your favourite heating installer Viessmann extends reach over the Atlantic

Viessmann Group is to combine its Climate Solutions business area with US Carrier Global Corporation to form a new transatlantic climate and energy solution partnership.

Both companies see the climate goals in North America and Europe as a once-in-acentury opportunity to make a positive impact, by actively shaping sustainable climate and energy solutions.

Viessmann Group chairman Martin Viessmann says: “Carrier is a strong partner for our Climate Solutions business. By joining forces, we will be able to uplift our impact on the decarbonisation of the building sector to the next level with more reach and scale.”

Viessmann Group activities outside the Climate Solutions business are not affected. The group will remain an independent business fully owned by the Viessmann family.
