Hill PHOENIX Acquires Some Tyler Assets

Sources from Hill PHOENIX, Inc., announced the refrigeration products company has acquired certain assets and intellectual property of Tyler Refrigeration, Niles, MI, a unit of Carrier Corporation. Tyler manufactures refrigerated display merchandisers and refrigeration systems for the food retail industry.

Hill PHOENIX has also purchased Tyler's five service and installation branch businesses in New Jersey, Minnesota, Arizona, Southern California, and Mexico. Tyler's manufacturing facility in Niles is not part of the transaction.

With Carrier retaining ownership of the Niles facility, new Tyler products will no longer be available. Hill PHOENIX is working with Carrier to ensure a smooth transition with minimal interruption of scheduled shipments to customers. Customers in need of additional information should contact their Hill PHOENIX representative, or call 800/518-6630, ext. 3122.
