The company is headquartered in Wellesley, Massachusetts, with a global workforce located throughout North America, Europe and Asia.

Trane says the acquisition will bring together the companies’ complementary capabilities, technology, offerings, and customer bases across shared key verticals, including healthcare, life sciences, retail, public sector, education and more.

Describing Nuvolo as “an outstanding fit”, Trane Technologies’ executive vice president and chief technology and sustainability officer Paul Camuti said: “With this acquisition, we see an opportunity to accelerate Nuvolo’s global growth and unlock new value and offerings for our respective customers and partners.”
