Notice
Carrier Transicold, a division of Carrier Corporation, and its parents,
subsidiaries and affiliates (collectively, “Carrier Transicold”) are
responsible for this TransCentral website (the “Site”) and are committed to
protecting the privacy of visitors to this website. Carrier Transicold has implemented technical,
