PROVIDENCE, R.I., and ST. LOUIS — Nortek Inc. announced that its heating and cooling subsidiary Nordyne LLC and its Nordyne International subsidiary have changed their names to Nortek Global HVAC LLC and Nortek Global HVAC Latin America Inc., respectively. While product brands and interactions with customers will remain the same, Nortek said the new names signify a unified strategy for accelerated global growth, innovation in energy-efficient products, and expanded product offerings.

“We were particularly eager for this change because the companies we’ve known as Nordyne and Nordyne International for many years now have become something bigger, better, and more able to serve a growing air management market,” said Dave LaGrand, president and CEO of Nortek Global HVAC. “Our new name better reflects the collaboration and cross-selling opportunities we have through our parent company, Nortek.
