Lennox International

About

In 1895, Dave Lennox recognized a critical gap in home heating: cast iron furnaces were inefficient and prone to cracking. So he invented the world's first riveted-steel furnace - a breakthrough that would launch a legacy of innovation spanning more than 130 years. What began in a Marshalltown, Iowa machine shop has evolved into Lennox International (NYSE: LII), a global leader in climate control solutions serving heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and refrigeration markets across 70+ countries. The company pioneered residential forced-air heating in 1923, introduced the industry's first high-efficiency gas furnaces in 1973, and continues to push boundaries with energy-efficient systems that reduce environmental impact.

Today, Lennox operates through three strategic business segments: Home Comfort Solutions delivers premium residential HVAC equipment through the Lennox Residential brand; Building Climate Solutions provides commercial systems via Lennox Commercial and Heatcraft Refrigeration brands (including Bohn, Larkin, Climate Control, and Chandler); and Parts & Supplies distributes components through LennoxPros, Duro Dyne, and Supco. Guided by core values of Integrity, Respect, and Excellence, the company employs 14,200 people across major manufacturing facilities in Iowa, South Carolina, and Mexico. Lennox combines direct-to-network distribution with cutting-edge digital tools to support dealers and contractors while maintaining relentless focus on sustainability - developing products that achieve industry-leading SEER efficiency ratings and help reduce carbon footprints for residential and commercial customers worldwide.

Liebherr-International S.A.

In 1949, Hans Liebherr had a realization that would reshape the construction industry forever: the task of building Germany's post-war infrastructure demanded a new kind of mobility on the job site. Working as a master builder with an inventor's curiosity, he designed the world's first mobile tower crane - a machine that could be easily transported and quickly assembled. This single invention didn't just solve a practical problem; it sparked the creation of an industrial empire that would become one of the world's leading construction equipment manufacturers. What began as a small German company has evolved into a global technology powerhouse spanning 13 product segments and employing more than 50,000 people across over 150 companies in 50-plus countries. The Liebherr family has maintained 100% ownership throughout three generations, preserving the founder's principles of exceptional engineering and unwavering quality. From massive mining excavators that carve through mountains to ultra-precise aerospace components that keep aircraft aloft, Liebherr products embody the same spirit of practical innovation that drove Hans Liebherr in 1949. Today, the company continues to push boundaries, developing sustainable solutions for wind energy, hydrogen-powered construction sites, and intelligent automation systems - all while staying true to its roots as a family-run enterprise where long-term thinking always outweighs short-term gains.
