Lennox EMEA becomes LFB Group

FRANCE: Lennox EMEA has changed its name to LFB Group as the umbrella name for its Lennox (HVAC) and Friga-Bohn (refrigeration) businesses.

The renaming follows last year’s divestiture of Lennox EMEA by the US manufacturer to Syntagma Capital. LFB stands for Leading For Better.

While, the company statement mentions that its Lennox and Friga-Bohn will continue to operate commercially, its HK Refrigeration retail and industrial refrigeration brand will now fall under Friga-Bohn.

Thierry Jomard, who was appointed Lennox EMEA CEO last April, becomes the new LFB Group CEO.

“The change of corporate name is a great way to herald our new vision and drive even more progress moving forward. However, there will be no changes to our daily operations or our interactions with customers and suppliers — it’s business as usual,” said Thierry Jomard.
