AHI Carrier formerly known as Air-conditioning & Heating International (AHI) became a Carrier Joint Venture Company on December 18th, 2008. The partnership between Carrier and AHI dates back to December 1997 when the first agreement was signed for distribution of Carrier products in Russia and all of CIS countries (12 countries).
In 1999, Carrier & Toshiba Air conditioning entered into a Joint Venture and as a consequence the Toshiba range of air-conditioning products were added for distribution in our territories. Success came early and in 2000 Carrier rewarded us by expanding our distribution rights to East and Central Africa (15 countries). Since the creation of “AHI Carrier” Joint Venture more countries have been added to include Middle East, Central Europe, Australia & New Zealand (18 countries). During 2015, AHI Carrier also acquired the distribution rights for Toshiba in Southern Africa.
AHI Carrier keeps a flexible and aggressive forward sales structure (sales offices & dealer network) and builds sales support functions in a centralized back office (Sharjah, U.A.E). The strategy focuses on economies of scale and allows AHI Carrier to quickly respond to opportunities in the sales area, simultaneously building a competitive system of product specification and technical support, logistics coordination, finance & M.I.S.
The most critical factor contributing AHI Carrier’s successful track record of profitable growth has been its commitment to service – and this commitment will become increasingly important in the future. AHI Carrier now distributes Carrier & Toshiba Air-conditioning HVAC products in 50 countries across 3 continents.
