Hogan Lovells advises Lennox on sale of its European process cooling business

Headquartered in Dallas, TX, Lennox is a global provider of climate control solutions for the heating, air conditioning and refrigeration markets. With divesting the European business, the company will further focus on the North American market where it is best positioned to achieve revenue growth and profit margin targets.

Headquartered in Krunkel, Germany, Hyfra Industriekühlanlagen GmbH supplies cooling systems and air heat exchangers for a range of cooling applications including those in the laser industry, machine tool engineering and filtration industries. The company was founded in 1981 and acquired by Lennox in 1997.

The closing of the transaction is subject to obtaining required consents and customary closing conditions. The transaction is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2023.
