In the UK, Toshiba Carrier UK Ltd will now be known as Carrier Solutions UK Ltd. The European business, Toshiba Carrier Europe SAS, will change its name to Carrier RLC Europe SAS.

The Poland-based company Toshiba Carrier Air Conditioning Europe Sp zoo becomes Carrier Manufacturing Gniezno Sp zoo, while Toshiba Carrier Air-Conditioning India Private Ltd is now Carrier Air Conditioning and Refrigeration.

In the far east, Toshiba Carrier (Thailand) Co Ltd becomes Carrier Air Conditioning (Thailand) Co Ltd; Toshiba Carrier Air Conditioning (China) Co Ltd changes its name to Carrier HVAC Equipment (Hangzhou) Co Ltd; and Toshiba Carrier Air conditioning Sales (Shanghai) Co Ltd is now China Carrier HVAC Sales & Service (Shanghai) Co Ltd.
