Honeywell and KE2 Therm agree controls deal

USA: Honeywell says it has agreed selling rights to smart controllers for the refrigeration industry manufactured by US company KE2 Therm Solutions.

With the agreement, KE2 Therm will also sell Honeywell Multisite technologies including its Novar building controls systems, E-MON electrical meters, and Manning refrigerant leak detection sensors. 

“Honeywell is the only building automation manufacturer that provides full-service energy management support to the retail industry so owners can focus on other critical parts of their operations,” said Matt Call, general manager, Honeywell Multisite. “By combining our enterprise-level capabilities with KE2 Therm’s smart edge level controls, we will deliver bottom line savings to any grocer, retailer or restaurant chain using refrigeration.”

KE2 Therm is specified by a wide range of end users, consultants and major OEM manufacturers of evaporators, and walk-in freezers and coolers.
