American Standard Companies has changed its name to Trane to reflect the company’s focus on its heating, ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC) business, which includes American Standard Heating & Air Conditioning. Changing the name and stock symbol (TT) marks the completion of the company’s separation plan that was announced in February 2007. Since then, the company spun off its vehicle control systems business as an independent company called WABCO (NYSE: WBC) on July 31, and sold its bath and kitchen business to funds advised by Bain Capital Partners, LLC, on Oct. 31.

If you’re a current customer or homeowner seeking home comfort solutions, we wanted you to know that American Standard Heating & Air Conditioning remains a strong, trusted brand within the renamed company. You can continue to depend on your local, independent American Standard Heating & Air Conditioning dealer to provide outstanding service and offer our quality American Standard-branded products and systems. Our commitment to helping families feel more comfortable and breathe easier in their homes hasn’t changed.
