Trane, a brand of Ingersoll Rand, is celebrating its 60-year anniversary of producing commercial heating, ventilating and air-conditioning (HVAC) equipment in Clarksville.
Celebrating with Trane is the Clarksville mayor, Kim McMillan, who recognizes current and retired employees for six decades of dedication, commitment to customers and the plant’s positive impact on the community. The Ingersoll Rand foundation also provided a $6,000 grant to support Manna Café Ministries to give back to the community.
“Employees’ loyalty and long-term commitment to Trane and to making high quality products every day make us a world-class manufacturer of high efficiency HVAC solutions,” said Bob Ellis, vice president of operations for Trane. “Each day we’re honored that they’ve chosen Trane as their place of employment.”
Former employees who worked on day-one along with current employees and their families who helped reach this tenure milestone participated in an open house event hosted at the Clarksville facility.
