Carrier appoints Viridus as exclusive distributor

IRELAND: Carrier Solutions UK has appointed Viridus Energy as exclusive distributor in the Republic of Ireland for its residential and light commercial heating and cooling product range.

From September 1, Carrier will move to a wholly distribution model for its Toshiba HVAC solutions, Carrier VRF, and Vokèra heating product lines through  Viridus Energy, deepening a successful partnership that began in 2023.

This strategic shift follows the announcement in March 2024, naming Dublin-based Viridus Energy as the new distributor for Toshiba HVAC products in Ireland. 

The new expanded business model will include the transfer of the Vokèra business located in Callan, Co Kilkenny, to Viridus Energy. The operational base in Callan will remain, ensuring continuity of service and support for customers and partners.

Furthermore, the existing staff at the Vokèra facility will join the Viridus Energy team, continuing their roles with the new organisational structure.

“This move marks a significant milestone in our strategic efforts to streamline operations and leverage local expertise through Viridus Energy,” said Carrier RLC UK and Ireland MD David Dunn. “Our partnership has proven highly effective, and this new model will enhance our ability to serve our customers with even greater efficiency and innovation.”
