CoolSys buys Minnesota contractor

USA: CoolSys, the US group of refrigeration and HVAC companies, has acquired Agape Mechanical, an HVAC, refrigeration and plumbing contractor based in Lakeville, Minnesota. 

With this acquisition, CoolSys expands its Light-Commercial Division, and broadens its Midwest presence entering six new states: North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Minnesota, Iowa and Illinois.

“The acquisition of Agape moves CoolSys further down our path of expansion with the goal of rapidly extending our coverage across the entire U.S,” commented Adam Coffey, CEO of CoolSys. 

“Adding Agape to the CoolSys family of companies strengthens our presence in the Midwest region and strategically expands our light-commercial division. We will also be able to offer additional CoolSys services to Agape’s customers to help them better manage the total cost of their mission-critical refrigeration and HVAC systems.”
