Established in 1883 in San Antonio, Texas, Friedrich was a pioneer in the commercial refrigeration business. In 1952, we leveraged this technology and began manufacturing our first room air conditioners.

Today, the fundamental direction of Friedrich is to be the top manufacturer of specialty air treatment products for the North American market. While our roots are in room air conditioners, Friedrich product lines now include high quality ductless split systems, single package vertical units, packaged terminal air conditioners, thru-the-wall units portable air conditioners and top-rated electronic air cleaners. Our product engineering department is constantly researching and designing new products, and improving the performance of our current product line - - as they have since the 1920's.

The Friedrich name is recognized for the quality and workmanship of its products. Our air conditioners can be found everywhere from oilrigs to school buildings, hotels to nursing homes, military housing to exclusive island resorts. The Friedrich name has become synonymous with quality.shaped by the spirit that launched this company over a century ago.
