- Climatec and Paladin Technologies evolve into a singular North American organization operating under the unified name Bosch Building Technologies
- Organizations structured to enable even more innovative, scalable and tailored solutions for customers, combining global capabilities with local expertise
Starting January 1, 2026, Bosch will unify its global building technologies integrator operations under the unified name, Bosch Building Technologies. The transformation will include Climatec and Paladin Technologies in North America, combining their branch networks under the Bosch brand to reshape building technology solutions as a product-agnostic systems integrator. With a wide-ranging portfolio of integrated, digital, and cross-domain solutions, the organization is positioned to expand in the areas of Building Automation, Security, Fire Life Safety, and Energy Solutions.
Climatec and Paladin Technologies have built strong reputations while operating independently across the United States and Canada. As Bosch Building Technologies, the organization will offer the full range of solutions and services from both Climatec and Paladin Technologies to customers. Local expertise, trusted relationships, and the ability to adapt quickly to the evolving localized needs of customers remain vital to the brand’s identity. The newly aligned organization will operate underneath the long-standing reputation and global resources of the Bosch brand and a strong commitment to its people, customers, technology partners, and communities.
“The value of each of our existing brands were built upon trust, one customer and one project at a time, and reinforced thousands of times by each employee in their daily interactions with our customers and technology partners,” says Frank Meyer, Member of the Bosch Board of Management and responsible for the Energy and Building Technology business sector. “By uniting the strengths of the established brands with Bosch, we are building on a shared foundation. This strong basis enables us to pursue our growth strategy with consistency and to create lasting value for our customers.”
As customer needs and technology continue to evolve, the transformation to a unified brand reflects Bosch’s ongoing growth and ability to adapt. The organization will remain focused on developing its people, strengthening strategic partnerships, and maintaining its entrepreneurial spirit as a customer-centric systems integrator delivering integrated and digital solutions.
“We will continue our journey to build the leading product-agnostic systems integrator, with the best team and vendor portfolio. I’m excited about the career opportunities this will bring our associates and the expansion of services for our customers,” adds Thomas Quante, President and CEO of Bosch Building Technologies.
As part of this evolution, Climatec’s Energy business will continue to operate under the Climatec name as a sub-brand within Bosch Building Technologies. The team and service model remain 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. Remaining Climatec business units, along with all Paladin Technologies operations, will transition to fully operate under the Bosch brand.
“It’s a great honor to have joined the Bosch Building Technologies team at this pivotal time in its evolution,” says Rich Cillessen, who has been serving as the North American Regional President of Bosch Building Technologies since June 1, 2025. “I’ve watched with great admiration as Bosch expanded its systems integration business in North America and I’m excited to be a part of this entrepreneurial team.”
Bosch, a leading global innovation leader, currently employs more than 3,000 professionals in its Building Technologies business in North America.
