Climate Control Group Celebrates 75 Years of Excellence:
IEC's Milestone Anniversary
In a world of constant change and innovation, few companies
can say they've been a consistent presence for 75 years. Last
fall, IEC, a subsidiary of the Climate Control Group, celebrated
its 75th anniversary. Since its establishment in 1948, IEC has
been at the forefront of delivering top-quality, Americanmade
fan coils internationally, earning a reputation as an
industry leader known for its commitment to innovation. This
milestone provides an opportunity to refl ect on the company's
journey, celebrate its dedicated staff and look forward to the
promising future that lies ahead.
A Legacy of Excellence
For more than seven decades,
IEC has remained steadfast
in its mission to provide the
highest quality fan coils
worldwide. IEC's unwavering
commitment to quality
products, made here in the
USA, has earned the trust of
customers and partners alike,
establishing a legacy that's
worth celebrating.
IEC has long recognized the
importance of Americanmade
fan coils. While many
companies have moved their
manufacturing overseas to
reduce costs, IEC has continued to manufacture its fan coils
in the United States. This decision carries signifi cant benefi ts,
not just for the company but for its customers and the
American economy.
1. Quality Assurance: American-made products are known
for their superior quality. IEC's commitment to producing
fan coils on U.S. soil ensures that customers receive a
reliable high-performance product. The company adheres
to stringent quality control standards, which are vital in
an industry where performance and dependability are
paramount.
2. Supporting the American Workforce: By manufacturing
domestically, IEC contributes to local employment and
the growth of skilled labor. The company provides jobs to
American workers, supporting families and communities
across the nation.
3. Reduced Environmental Impact: Producing locally minimizes
the environmental impact associated with international
shipping and reduces the carbon footprint. It's an
environmentally responsible choice that benefi ts the planet.
Looking Back and Looking Forward
While refl ecting on the journey of the last 75 years, IEC and
Climate Control Group have put in place a strategic vision for
the next three years, emphasizing three core pillars: Quality,
Culture, and Innovation.
Quality: IEC has always been synonymous with quality, and
this commitment will remain at the forefront of the company's
priorities. The company pledges to continue producing the
highest quality products, ensuring customers receive nothing
but the best.
Culture: IEC recognizes that its success is built on the strength
of its corporate culture and stressed the importance of
maintaining a workplace that fosters teamwork, inclusivity,
and a sense of belonging. A strong company culture is not just
a benefi t for employees but a driver of continued success.
Innovation: IEC prioritizes the importance of innovation to
remain a leader in the industry. The strategic vision highlights
the company's commitment to developing groundbreaking
solutions that will shape the industry's future.
