About Goodman

Goodman Manufacturing was established in 1975 in San Antonio, Texas, by Harold V. Goodman. The company expanded its HVAC presence in 1982 when it acquired Janitrol. Harold V. Goodman led the company until his death in 1996, after which Frank H. Murray assumed the role of chairman and CEO.

The company underwent several ownership changes in the 2000s: Apollo Management acquired it in 2004 for approximately $1.43 billion, followed by an IPO in April 2006. Hellman & Friedman purchased the company in October 2007 for $1.8 billion. In August 2012, Japan's Daikin Industries acquired Goodman for $3.7 billion, establishing the current ownership structure. As of April 2022, the company was formally renamed Daikin Comfort Technologies North America, Inc., though the Goodman brand continues operating within this structure.
