• Climatec and Paladin Technologies are evolving to become a single North American organization operating under the unified name Bosch Building Technologies
  • The organizations are structured to offer even more innovative, scalable, and tailored solutions to clients, combining global capabilities with local expertise.

Phoenix, USA / Vancouver, Canada / Bloomberg, USA. Effective January 1, 2026, Bosch will unify its global building technology integrator business under the unified name Bosch Building Technologies. The transformation will include Climatec and Paladin Technologies in North America, which will combine their branch networks under the Bosch brand to reshape building technology solutions as a vendor-independent systems integrator. With a broad portfolio of integrated, digital, and cross-industry solutions, the organization is positioned to diversify into building automation, security, fire safety, and energy solutions.

Climatec and Paladin Technologies have built a strong reputation while operating independently in the United States and Canada. As Bosch Building Technologies, the organization will offer customers a full range of solutions and services from Climatec and Paladin Technologies. Local expertise, trusted relationships, and the ability to quickly adapt to evolving local customer needs remain vital to the brand identity. The new, aligned organization will operate under the long-standing reputation and global resources of the Bosch brand, as well as a strong commitment to its employees, customers, technology partners, and communities.

“The value of each of our existing brands has been built on trust, one customer and one project at a time, and reinforced thousands of times over by every employee in their daily interactions with our customers and technology partners,” explains Frank Meyer, member of the Bosch Board of Management and head of the Energy and Building Technology sector. “By combining the strengths of the established brands with Bosch, we are building on a common foundation. This solid base allows us to pursue our growth strategy consistently and create sustainable value for our customers.”

As customer needs and technology continue to evolve, the transformation to a unified brand reflects Bosch’s continued growth and adaptability. The organization will continue to focus on developing its employees, strengthening strategic partnerships, and maintaining its entrepreneurial spirit as a customer-centric systems integrator offering integrated and digital solutions.

 “We will continue our journey to be the leader in product-independent systems integration, with the best team and the best supplier portfolio. I am excited about the career opportunities this will provide for our associates and the expansion of services offered to our customers,” adds Thomas Quante, President and CEO of Bosch Building Technologies

As part of this evolution, Climatec’s energy-focused operations will continue to operate under the Climatec name as a sub-brand within Bosch Building Technologies. The team and service model remains unchanged, and the business will continue to play a central role in Bosch’s long-term strategy, benefiting from increased collaboration and access to shared resources. Climatec’s remaining business units, along with all Paladin Technologies operations, will evolve to operate fully under the Bosch brand.

 “It is a great honor to have joined the Bosch Building Technologies team at this crucial moment in its evolution,” said Rich Cillessen, North American Regional President of Bosch Building Technologies, effective June 1, 2025. “I have watched with great admiration the expansion of Bosch’s systems integration business in North America and I am delighted to be part of this entrepreneurial team.”

Bosch, a global leader in innovation, currently employs more than 3,000 professionals in its building technology business in North America.
