Carrier curtails Toshiba A/C partnership

Farmington-based Carrier Corp. is shifting its consumer air-conditioning portion of its Japanese partnership with Toshiba to limit its market exposure in that country.

Carrier said it agreed to transfer its Toshiba-branded home air-conditioning business from Toshiba Carrier Corp. to Toshiba Home Appliances Corp. Terms of the deal were not disclosed Wednesday.

Toshiba Carrier will focus on marketing high-efficiency commercial air conditioners, said Carrier President Geraud Darnis.

Carrier is a unit of United Technologies Corp. in Hartford.
