MANILA, Philippines, 28 April 2025 – Concepcion Industrial Corporation (CIC), the country’s leading provider of consumer lifestyle and enterprise solutions, through Concepcion-Carrier Air Conditioning Company (CCAC) spotlights its Carrier Air Authority Center franchise program on Friday, April 25 at the International Franchise Expo at SMX Convention Center Manila. With 35 stores already operational nationwide, CCAC aims to significantly expand its franchise network to bring Carrier’s global HVAC expertise to more Filipino entrepreneurs and communities.

The Carrier Air Authority franchise program allows franchisees to establish physical service centers that function as comprehensive hubs where customers can access everything they need for air conditioning—from purchasing new units and authorized replacement parts to receiving professional installation and ongoing maintenance services.

Leveraging Carrier’s century-long legacy of innovation, CCAC has created a promising avenue for Filipino entrepreneurs eager to establish themselves in the thriving HVAC industry. The program taps into the growing market demand for climate comfort solutions while enabling business owners to develop multiple revenue streams that contribute to local economic development.

“The Carrier Air Authority Center reflects our broader mission at CIC to create meaningful opportunities that uplift Filipino communities,” says Raul Joseph Concepcion, Chairman & President of CIC. “By empowering entrepreneurs to build sustainable businesses that address essential needs, we are not only contributing to national progress but also advancing our commitment to provide reliable Concepcion solutions to every home and business, ultimately improving the quality of life across the Philippines.”

“Our commitment to the Filipino people has always been about delivering solutions that enhance lives,” says Phillip Trapaga, President of CCAC. “This initiative is our strategic platform to empower entrepreneurs—allowing them to feel ‘Air Confident’—while delivering essential comfort solutions across homes and businesses. We’re building a pathway that harnesses our century of technological expertise with the vibrant entrepreneurial spirit of Filipino communities.”

Driving the program’s market appeal is an innovative 4-in-1 business model that diversifies revenue streams while addressing customer needs. This approach seamlessly integrates premium Carrier air conditioning unit sales with complementary service offerings. Franchisees establish customer relationships beginning with installation that naturally evolve into ongoing maintenance partnerships, while simultaneously generating steady income through genuine parts sales. This interconnected ecosystem maximizes business potential through multiple customer touchpoints spanning the entire product lifecycle.

Prospective partners receive an arsenal of business-building tools upon joining the Carrier network. The package includes rights to Carrier’s prestigious name and visual identity, detailed operational frameworks, thorough training programs, professionally designed marketing materials, grand opening support, ongoing business consultation, and localized promotional assistance. This robust support infrastructure enables motivated individuals, even those without prior extensive technical backgrounds, to establish and scale successful enterprises through comprehensive training and support.

CCAC’s pioneering franchise program offers entrepreneurs the chance to build a legacy with the global leader in HVAC solutions known for quality and innovation. Franchisees gain exclusive access to Carrier’s latest technologies and energy-efficient air conditioning solutions while creating meaningful employment in their communities.
