Trane Celebrates 110 Years of Making Buildings Better

Celebrating our 110th anniversary as a world leader in creating comfortable, energy efficient indoor environments.

James Trane and his son Reuben started a family plumbing business in La Crosse, Wisconsin, in 1885. James developed an innovative low-pressure steam heating system and in 1913—28 years later—they incorporated as The Trane Company. 

Watch this short video for a glance back at where we started—with James and Reuben Trane in 1885—and where we are now, as part of Trane Technologies.
