Norwegian immigrant James Trane settled in La Crosse, WI, in 1864, finding work as a steamfitter and plumber. In 1885, he opened his own store, and within a few years had gained a reputation as one of the area's best plumbers.
Together with his son, Ruben, they incorporated the Trane Company in 1913 to produce a new type of low pressure steam heating called Trane Vapor Heating.
Trane provides indoor comfort systems and comphrehensive facility solutions for residential, commercial, and industrial building needs. For decades, customers large and small,global and local have relied on Trane for exceptional quality products, high performing systems, reliable service and unparalled expertise.
New technology does not occur without a strong commitment to research and development. Trane backs their dedication to technology leadership with a substantial investment in people, facilities and ongoing product development.
Trane is one of the largest suppliers of comfort systems for the heating, ventilating, air conditioning and building management industry. Trane uses the same business principle of hard work and dedication today as they did more than a century ago.
