Carrier Global Corporation

Carrier Global Corporation describes itself as a global provider of intelligent climate and energy solutions, with its activities centered on homes, buildings and the cold chain. [1] The company reports 2025 net sales of $21.75 billion, operations in approximately 150 countries, more than 40 brands, approximately 47,000 employees and more than 75 products introduced during 2025. [1]

Its portfolio spans heating, ventilation and air-conditioning; refrigeration; fire and security; building automation and controls; and connected lifecycle services. [2] Carrier says its services include auditing, design, installation, system integration, repair, maintenance and monitoring, while its brands include Carrier, Viessmann, Toshiba, Automated Logic, Carrier Transicold, Kidde, Edwards and LenelS2. [2]

The corporate identity is rooted in Willis Haviland Carrier’s July 1902 design for a system that controlled humidity at the Sackett & Wilhelms printing plant in Brooklyn. [3] Carrier Engineering Corporation was incorporated in 1915 by Carrier, J. Irvine Lyle and five colleagues, and the company’s early work extended from industrial moisture control toward broader climate-control applications. [3]

Carrier presents climate control as infrastructure for comfort, indoor air quality, energy management and the safe movement of perishable goods and medical supplies. [1] Its current materials therefore position the company at the intersection of building performance, public health, food preservation and energy efficiency, rather than as an air-conditioning manufacturer alone.
