SWORDS, Ireland--(Business Wire)--
Ingersoll-Rand plc (NYSE:IR), the world leader in creating and sustaining safe,
comfortable and efficient environments, today announced the formation of its
Climate Solutions Sector, which includes the industry leading heating,
ventilation, air-conditioning and refrigeration (HVAC-R) commercial brands
Trane, Hussmann and Thermo King. Didier Teirlinck, formerly president of the
Climate Control Technologies Sector, will be president of the new Climate
Solutions Sector.

"By aligning the Trane, Hussmann and Thermo King businesses and brands, we will
be offering our customers superior HVAC-R and transport refrigeration solutions,
especially in the areas of reliability, energy efficiency and sustainability,"
said Herbert L. Henkel, chairman and chief executive officer of Ingersoll Rand.
"The Climate Solutions Sector will promote rapid innovation to help customers
achieve more cost effective and energy efficient systems and solutions to help
improve their business performance."

"Didier Teirlinck is an outstanding global leader with a proven track record of
solid results and accomplishments," said Mike Lamach, president and chief
operating officer of Ingersoll Rand.

"Ingersoll Rand`s Climate Solutions Sector has broad capabilities to help
customers reduce energy use and carbon emissions while improving sustainability
performance on both the economic and environmental levels. By pulling together
HVAC-R, the Climate Solutions Sector can have a very large impact on our
customers` businesses by addressing more than 50% of their energy use and
improving the quality of their operations. The sector has an accredited energy
services company (ESCO), employs more than 500 LEED certified engineers, and
offers a wide variety of energy efficient products, services and solutions in
HVAC-R and transport refrigeration - many of which are the industry leaders in
their categories," said Lamach.

"The Center for Energy Efficiency and Sustainability has been created to advance
Ingersoll Rand`s global position as a leader in developing the ideas, innovation
and relationships to create intelligent solutions that address both business and
societal challenges around energy and climate change," said Lamach. "We plan to
drive developments in new technologies, research, process development, education
and training to ensure that Ingersoll Rand and our customers are doing the right
things for the world and for their businesses.

"The formation of the Climate Solutions Sector, and the previously announced
formation of our Residential Solutions Sector, are important milestone events in
the overall integration of the former Trane business with Ingersoll Rand," said
Lamach. "These organizational changes are consistent with Ingersoll Rand`s
strategy to become a more customer-focused enterprise capable of driving higher
organic growth rates into the future. At the same time, these changes create a
more efficient and integrated operational footprint designed to deliver
sustained 5% productivity performance improvement."
