In 1921, inventor Edmund Copeland founded a company in Detroit with a revolutionary vision: to transform the refrigeration industry. What began as a single-minded pursuit of innovation has evolved over a century into Copeland, a global climate technologies company engineered for sustainability. Today, we stand at the forefront of the heating, cooling, and refrigeration industry, combining the energy and focus of a startup with over 100 years of pioneering leadership in compression technologies and controls solutions.
Our mission is driven by three pillars: Purpose, Performance, and People. With 18,000 colleagues across more than 40 countries, we deliver energy-efficient compression technologies and controls solutions that protect the planet today and for future generations. From residential comfort to industrial applications, from container ships to data centers, our technologies are trusted worldwide to reduce carbon emissions, improve energy efficiency, and safeguard perishable food and medicines through an efficient cold chain. Since becoming a standalone company in 2023, we have re-energized our commitment to sustainability, maintaining our legacy of industry stewardship while accelerating the transition to climate-friendly refrigerants and innovative HVACR solutions.
