Bloomberg describes the company as "a diversified, global company that provides a diverse range of products and services for a wide range of industries. The Company's operations include consist of air conditioning systems and services, climate control technologies, industrial technologies and security technologies."[1]

From 2002 to 2009, Ingersoll Rand was incorporated in the Cayman Islands to avoid paying approximately $40 million in taxes. The executive headquarters in the U.S. are located in Davidson, North Carolina.
