Carrier and Earth Day
Date: 22.04.2010
Today, we join millions around the world in the celebration of Earth Day. While this day is an official designation, as citizens of the earth, we should regard every day as if it were Earth Day. The earth has finite resources and safeguarding those resources is critical for our children and the generations that follow.
For more than 20 years, Carrier has led the heating, ventilation, air conditioning and refrigeration industry with sustainable solutions to advance energy efficiency, all while minimizing the environmental impact of our manufacturing operations. Starting in 2007, we pledged to reduce our greenhouse gas footprint by 3 percent each year.
We are proud of Carrier’s environmental leadership and ask every employee to join in strengthening our commitment to do more to protect and preserve the planet.
Responsibility to the environment
Date: 07.03.2010
„Carrier has been an environmental leader for decades, with a clear and consistent strategy,” said Carrier President Geraud Darnis.
In recent days Carrier extended its core values and the responsibility to the environment became one of them. Together with the new core value Carrier Corp. unveiled a new brand identity emphasizing its roots in environmental stewardship and ongoing commitment to the development of sustainable solutions.
The leaf represents the universal symbol for the environment. The word “improve” represents Carrier’s belief in continuous improvement for products and services, improving people’s lives through the indoor environment, and the company’s culture of improvement that will not rest when it comes to the natural environment.

100 year anniversary of the Beroun plant
Date: 10.07.2009
The company celebrates three important anniversaries this year: 100 years of Beroun plant´s history, 70 years of refrigeration units production and five years as a part of Carrier, a United Technologies Company.
In June 1909 Jan Strchler bought a plot of land for his future spinning-factory on the site of the present plant. In 1939, the production of Tatra trade refrigeration equipment was concentrated in Beroun. Production of refrigeration equipment continued even after incorporation into the national enterprise Frigera Kolín in 1949.
Radical modernization and production of refrigerated chilled and frozen food display cabinets started after the company was privatized by the leading German commercial refrigeration company Linde AG. Five years ago, in 2004, former Linde Frigera became part of Carrier, a group of companies belonging to United Technologies, a U.S. Corporation.
First CO2 application in the Czech Republic
Date: 19.02.2009
Albert in Jesenice is the first supermarket in the Czech Republic which uses the CO2 deep-freeze system instead of standard HFC refrigerants.
The refrigerated and frozen food cabinets were produced mainly in Carrier plants Beroun and Myto and installed by CARRIER chladicí technika CZ s.r.o.
One of the advantages of CO2 deep-freeze units is the prevention of ozone damaging effects, while at the same time reducing the greenhouse effect caused by refrigeration systems. In the meantime, a number of tens of supermarkets in Europe are using the innovative technologies of CO2 deep-freeze systems.
Christmas party
Date: 08.01.2009
The Beroun and Myto management organized a Christmas party to thank all employees for their hard work and great results in 2008. In Myto, employees won valuable presents in tombola and enjoyed a rich buffet prepared by the local Sladovna restaurant. In Beroun, a 60s style party took place in the hotel Na Ostrově. At the same time employees could compete in "ice games" on the adjacent winter stadium. We hope that employees of both plants enjoyed the Christmas parties and we are all looking forward to next events.

New factory building in Myto has been finished
Date: 14.07.2008
In October 2007 the construction of the new production hall started in Myto plant. After the successful approval of the new building the launch of operation has been completed. The new building, where about 40 new employees have found their jobs, is – together with the whole plant – an example of a clean and safe plant with the focus on customer needs and the emphasis laid on quality of its processes.
