The 28,000 men and women of Carrier create comfort wherever people work, live or play -- from private residences and apartments to grand hotels; from sprawling factories to soaring office towers; from theme parks to centuries-old cultural centers. In 145 countries around the world, people rely on the comfort behind the familiar Carrier oval. Our customers know Carrier through its global network of distributors and dealers.
Our products also provide comfort to people on the move aboard many of the world's buses, trains and cruise ships. Much of the world's perishable food and manufactured goods go to market in trucks, tractor trailers and ocean-going shipping containers refrigerated by Carrier Transicold products.
Behind the human comfort and the reliable refrigeration our people provide is a research and development organization that spends about $100 million a year expanding the limits and capabilities of air conditioning, heating, refrigeration and ventilation technologies. More than 1,100 scientists, engineers and technicians at 20-design and engineering centers worldwide investigate key technologies that affect comfort, efficiency and the environment. Advances in aeroacoustics, compression, heat transfer, electronics, alternate refrigerants and indoor air quality are incorporated into products that serve the practical needs of millions of Carrier customers.
Technology is translated into reality in 49 wholly-owned or joint venture manufacturing plants around the world that cover an area of 10 million square feet. Global production teams link these 49 sites to make sure new manufacturing processes, technologies and "best practices" are adopted quickly by each site.
Condensing a company as large and diverse as Carrier into half a dozen paragraphs isn't possible. If you want some dry figures and words, there's a fact sheet you can consult, but that leaves out too much. Continue to browse through our Website and you'll find many more features that help define our company and its people in human terms.
