DHessian heating manufacturer Viessmann is selling its air conditioning division, including the lucrative heat pumps, to US competitor Carrier Global. In return, the remaining Viessmann Group will take over a block of shares and, according to its own statements, will become one of the largest shareholders in the US group.
