NUREMBURG, Germany — The familiar Copeland and Alco brand names are undergoing a bit of fine-tuning to more closely identify those businesses with their parent company, Emerson.
In a statement released to the worldwide press during the International Trade Fair for Refrigeration, Air Conditioning, and Ventilation (in German, Internationale Facfhmesse Kalte, Klima, Luftung, or IKK), St. Louis-based Emerson said, “In an effort to match the company structure with changing global market requirements, Emerson has created a more market-oriented organization using the Emerson brand as common denominator.
“With this new structure, Copeland becomes part of Emerson Climate Technologies.” Under a banner identified as “Emerson Climate Technologies-Copeland” were three product brands: Copeland Scroll, DWM Copeland, and Alco Controls, with DWM Copeland representing semi-hermetic compressor operations.
