The Board of Directors is confident the company is well positioned for continued growth and long-term shareholder value. We look forward to working with Dave in his expanded role.”

Regnery was named CEO on July 1, 2021. Throughout his long tenure with the company, he served in various financial and commercial leadership roles, and led several strategic business units around the world, including Commercial HVAC and Transport Refrigeration. He later was named president and chief operating officer, with direct responsibility for the company’s three regional reporting segments, full portfolio of businesses and brands, and global business operations.

“I appreciate the Board’s confidence in me as well as the support of our customers, investors and talented team members around the world,” said Regnery. “There is an incredibly bright future ahead for Trane Technologies as we challenge what’s possible for our industry, and for the world. I want to thank Mike Lamach for his countless and invaluable contributions to Trane Technologies, and most of all for his steadfast commitment to making the world a better place.”

Lamach served as CEO and chair of the Board of Directors of Trane Technologies for 11 years and has served as executive chair since July 1, 2021. Lamach launched Trane Technologies’ business operating system and developed a strong culture of inclusion and engagement. He led the company through multiple strategic evolutions, culminating in the launch of Trane Technologies as a purpose-driven climate innovator in 2020.
