Samsung on Tuesday said that it has agreed to set up a joint venture (JV) with a leading provider of climate solutions Lennox for a heating, ventilation and air-conditioning and refrigeration (HVAC) business in the US and Canada.
According to Samsung, the newly-established JV, named Samsung Lennox HVAC North America, will sell ductless AC and heat pump products in the countries.
The JV is 50.1 per cent owned by Samsung, with the remaining stake being held by Lennox, Yonhap news agency reported.
