About CopelandTech — Compressor Engineering Since 2005

A precision compressor manufacturer built by refrigeration engineers who believe every compressor should ship with verified performance data, not marketing estimates.

Built on Engineering Discipline

CopelandTech was founded in 2005 by a team of compressor engineers who saw an opportunity to bring a higher standard of performance documentation to the refrigeration compressor market. Too many compressors shipped with catalog ratings that diverged significantly from actual field performance. We set out to change that.

Today, with 450 employees across 3 manufacturing facilities, we produce over 8,500 compressor units annually — each one tested against AHRI standards before it leaves our factory floor. Our 62-person R&D team continuously refines scroll geometry, valve timing, and motor efficiency to extract measurable performance gains from each product generation.

We serve customers in 48 countries through 15 regional service centers, and every compressor we sell comes with published performance curves, not just a brochure.

Semi-Hermetic Line Launched

Expanded into semi-hermetic reciprocating compressors for medium and low temperature applications.

2013

Second Manufacturing Facility

Opened our second production plant, doubling capacity to 5,000 units per year.

2017

R-290 Scroll Series

Launched industry-first R-290 propane scroll compressor series for commercial refrigeration.

2021

Variable Speed Platform

Introduced integrated VFD compressor platform with built-in diagnostics and BACnet connectivity.

2024

Third Facility & R-744 Launch

Engineering Principles

The standards that guide every compressor we design, build, and support.

📋

Verified Data

Every performance claim is backed by AHRI-certified test data, not estimates.

🔧

Design for Service

Semi-hermetic units are field-rebuildable. Scroll units are field-replaceable. No compressor should be disposable.

🌍

Refrigerant Transition

Every new platform is validated for at least one low-GWP refrigerant before market launch.
