ST. LOUIS, October 3, 2007 – Emerson
Climate Technologies, a business of Emerson (NYSE: EMR), today announced
that the company has donated a White-Rodgers product training van to
Ranken Technical College in St. Louis.
“White-Rodgers has a strong commitment to
continuing education in the HVAC industry,” said Jay Wirts, director of
marketing for White-Rodgers. “The popular training van is one of the
ways we support that commitment. When we first started the training van
concept in the 1970s, we used an actual van. Today that idea is in its
fourth generation, having evolved into a state-of-the-art bus.”
After years of service, tens of thousands of
visitors and more than 250,000 miles, Emerson wanted their St. Louis
Region Training Bus to go to good use. The company decided to donate the
training bus to Ranken Technical College and allow the students to apply
their skills to refurbish the bus. After that, the bus will be used to
transport Ranken students.
Ken Meyer, development officer at Ranken
said, “We can’t thank White-Rodgers and Emerson Climate Technologies
enough for this opportunity. Our students will get some valuable
hands-on experience working on the bus and the school will get some
needed student transportation.”
Ranken Technical College is a private,
non-profit institution of higher education. Rich with history, Ranken
has provided students with top quality educational programs for nearly
100 years.
