Carrier opens HVAC museum in China

CHINA: Carrier China has opened a museum in the Baoshan district of Shanghai presenting Carrier’s role in the history and development of HVAC solutions. 

In addition to interactive presentations charting the stories and history behind HVAC technology, visitors to the 4,000m2 facility can view Carrier’s residential, light commercial and commercial applied equipment, service and building automation systems.

There is also a new training and maintenance centre for customers to learn about healthier, digitally smarter and more efficient indoor environments in the design, retrofit and operation of building strategies.

While Carrier established its first joint venture in Shanghai in 1987, the company has had a presence in the country dating back to 1937 with the installation of a Carrier system in the Bank of China, one of Shanghai’s tallest buildings at the time.

Today, Carrier has more than 2,500 employees in China and a network of more than 60 sales and service offices.
