A New Chapter in Cooling Innovation: G&D Chillers + Ingersoll Rand

May 7, 2025

To our valued customers, partners, and friends,

From the early days of welding refrigeration frames by hand to meet the needs of a fast-growing craft beverage scene, G&D Chillers has always been fueled by innovation, grit, and a passion for solving complex cooling challenges. What began as a small, hands-on operation over 30 years ago has grown into a trusted leader in process cooling—serving industries ranging from biogas and food processing to industrial manufacturing and, of course, craft beverage and winemaking (where we got our start).

Today, I’m excited to share a major milestone: G&D Chillers is now a part of a respected industrial leader Ingersoll Rand – a global market leader with a broad range of innovative and mission-critical air, fluid, energy, and medical technologies, providing services and solutions to increase industrial productivity and efficiency.

This partnership marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter—one that brings expanded resources, increased innovation, and greater capabilities, all while staying true to who we are.

What This Means for Our Valued Customers & Partners:

  • Continued excellence in customer service: You’ll keep working with the same dedicated team you know and trust.
  • Access to broader product innovations: Expect new offerings that push performance and sustainability even further.
  • Strengthened support across more industries: We’re better equipped than ever to meet your specific cooling needs.

We’re proud of where we started—and even more excited about where we’re headed. With Ingersoll Rand by our side, we’re setting the stage for the future of process cooling: driven by purpose, powered by innovation, and grounded in the values that built G&D.

Thank you for being part of our journey. I am honored to continue to lead this great team into the future.
