UTC Climate, Controls & Security operated globally as a provider of building-related technologies encompassing fire protection, security solutions, building automation, HVAC (heating, ventilating, air conditioning), and refrigeration systems along with related services. As a fully owned subsidiary of United Technologies Corporation, the company generated $16.7 billion in revenue and employed approximately 55,000 individuals worldwide, servicing clients across more than 180 countries.
In the year 2020, United Technologies completed the corporate spin-off of this business unit into an independent entity known as Carrier Global Corporation. Concurrently, United Technologies also separated Otis Worldwide Corporation, while its remaining divisions (Pratt & Whitney and Collins Aerospace) merged with Raytheon Company to form Raytheon Technologies.
History
UTC Climate, Controls & Security, headquartered in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, emerged from the division of UTC Building & Industrial Systems into two distinct entities: Otis and UTC Climate, Controls & Security. While Otis concentrates on the production and installation of elevators and escalators, UTC Climate, Controls & Security encompasses brands that deliver building technologies along with heating, cooling, fire safety, security, and refrigeration products and services.
The origins of UTC Climate, Controls & Security's brands trace back to 1818 when Jeremiah and Charles Chubb invented the first detector lock globally. In 1881, Robert Edwards secured a patent for the initial electric alarm bell. The modern air conditioner was developed and patented by Willis Carrier in 1902. Additionally, Walter Kidde established the Walter Kidde Company in 1917, which pioneered the first integrated smoke detection and carbon dioxide extinguishing system designed specifically for maritime use.
