丹佛斯已經簽訂了收購Chatleff Controls的協議，該協議預計在2007年10月完成。Chatleff位于德州奧斯汀，是美國住宅制冷市場的連接器和分銷商。公司擁有250名員工，2006年凈銷售額約為4千2百萬美元。 丹佛斯空調部門總裁Kim Fausing說：“由于Chatleff Controls的加入，我們除了是一個零部件制造商之外，還將成為制冷領域解決方案的提供商。這是進軍溫度調節市場出現的自然結果。”他還補充到：此舉還將丹佛斯置于美國空調市場中最完善的壓縮機和控制器提供商之間，與其共同競爭。 Chatleff Controls公司CEO兼業主Raymond G. Henderson也對加入丹佛斯集團非常看好。 他說：“丹佛斯和Chatleff Controls公司兩家都是擁有強大實力家族企業，我相信兩家企業很很好的融合的。”正是由于Chatleff Controls的業主、其妻子和兒子的共同努力才使得Chatleff Controls有今天的成就。 通過收購Chatleff Controls公司，丹佛斯將加強其在美國住宅制冷市場的長期地位，進一步加強與客戶間的業務關系。 經收購，Chatleff Controls公司將成為丹佛斯空調部門，系統及組裝業務部的一部分。 [FONT=times] original text [/FONT] [font=times] Danfoss acquires Chatleff Controls Inc.
