SUPCO takes on Kulthorn compressors

USA: Sealed Unit Parts Co (SUPCO), the US supplier of spare parts, has become a national master distributor for Kulthorn aftermarket air conditioning and refrigeration compressors and condensing units.

Under the partnership agreement, which is described as “a strong strategic fit”, SUPCO will offer Kulthorn reciprocating hermetic compressors to cover a range of applications and refrigerant options, for popular OEM products.

“The partnership with Kulthorn is a solid step in our journey to build on our foundation in aftermarket air conditioning and refrigeration replacement parts, components and test instruments”, said Chris Mancuso, SUPCO president and CEO. “The addition of a compressor offering helps us to fully deliver on our HVACR strategy to be a one-stop-shop solution for our customers.” 

Compressors will be available for immediate shipment from US-based locations.
