DALLAS — Lennox has agreed to sell its European commercial HVAC and refrigeration businesses, headquartered in Lyon, France, to funds managed by Syntagma Capital.

The closing of the transaction is subject to obtaining required consents, works council consultations, and customary closing conditions. The transaction is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of this year.

“The agreement to sell the European commercial HVAC and refrigeration business will be the best way to bring closure to our portfolio simplification decision announced last year,” said Lennox CEO Alok Maskara in a press release. “Our focus on North America will enable us to better serve our customers and achieve growth acceleration and margin resiliency.

“Our European commercial HVAC and refrigeration businesses have been part of Lennox for many years, and I want to thank the talented employees of those businesses for their dedication and contributions.”  Maskara concluded.
