TRANE yesterday and today

Abstract

The history of TRANE, one of the largest suppliers of equipment for ventilation and air conditioning systems, began as a family business more than 100 years ago. Norwegian immigrant James Train, who settled in 1864 in the American city of La Crosse (Wisconsin, USA), found work as a plumber, opened his own business in this area in 1885, and a few years later he already gained a reputation as one of the best specialists. In 1913, James Train and his son Reuben, who had graduated from the University of Madison by that time, founded TRANE to master a new type of heating system invented by James, operating at low steam pressure. In addition to this innovative system, the company manufactured valves and other equipment for conventional steam heating systems.
