Under the agreement, Carrier will acquire Linde Refrigeration for about $390 million (or about 325 million euros) including estimated debt upon closing. Linde Refrigeration, headquartered in Cologne, Germany, employs 6,300 people and has annual sales of about $1 billion (866 million euros, including the German dry shelving business, which is not part of this transaction, with sales of 28 million euros). Products include refrigerated display cases and subsystems, and industrial and commercial refrigeration systems.
