At Kysor Warren Epta US, we are committed to ensuring that the transition of the market to transcritical CO2 systems doesn’t threaten the industry’s ability to meet regulatory timelines. As thought leaders in natural refrigeration, we are committed to training retailers, EORs, and contractors so that they will have clear understanding of the skills and information that industry demands are critical to the successful implementation of natural refrigeration systems.

We have two training facilities in the U.S.: Dale Sizemore Training Center (1 Corporate Ridge Parkway) in Columbus, GA & West Coast Training Center (745 W. Taft Ave.) in Orange, CA.

Training sessions are arranged and organized by Product and Events Communication Coordinator Sonja Parrish and taught by Ignacio Chaparro and Dale Sizemore.

Joining Chaparro is Dale Sizemore, Director of Technical Support at Kysor Warren Epta US, who will provide invaluable insights into the practical aspects of CO2 systems, from installation to maintenance and troubleshooting, equipping you with the skills needed to excel in these areas.
