Carrier today introduced Carrier Alliance – a new program designed to optimize the company’s supply chain by strengthening and lengthening strategic relationships with suppliers.

"Carrier Alliance is going to be a win-win-win for our customers, our suppliers and our shareowners," said Dave Gitlin, President & CEO, Carrier.
