Over the past 20 years, Mestek has been committed to investing in innovative channel-specific companies that provide customers with environmentally friendly solutions, while keeping in concert with their core engineering and manufacturing strengths.

 “The acquisition of Transom allows Mestek to instantly grow our already established air-to-water heat pump offerings and further solidify our dedication to decarbonization and electrification across North America. Our successful line of inverter-based air-to-water heat pumps under the SpacePak brand and our commercial heat pumps under the RBI brand, will be synergistically complemented by the addition of Transom. The Transom team has over 30 years of experience in the design and manufacturing of chillers and heat pumps, for commercial and industrial application such as mission critical, marine, rail, process control, general comfort heating and cooling. We are excited to grow together in this rapidly emerging market segment” added Mark Harrington, executive vice president of the Mestek Distributor Products Group.
