Carrier continues to innovate, recently leading an investment in Strategic Thermal Labs for a revolutionary liquid cooling solution for data centers. This initiative aligns with the company's goal to enhance energy efficiency and support high-density computing needs. Additionally, Carrier's financial performance remains strong, as evidenced by its robust first-quarter 2024 results showing a 17% increase in sales, bolstered by the Viessmann acquisition and organic growth.
Further solidifying its transformation, Carrier successfully sold its Global Access Solutions business to Honeywell for $4.95 billion, marking a significant milestone in its portfolio realignment efforts. This transaction is part of Carrier's broader strategy to focus on high-growth, high-margin segments within the intelligent climate and energy solutions market.
