Worthington Enterprises Extends Class A2L Refrigerant Cylinders Portfolio to Accelerate Phasedown of HFC Refrigerants

COLUMBUS, OHIO (August 28, 2024) – Worthington Enterprises, Inc. (NYSE: WOR) today announced an extension of its Class A2L refrigerant cylinder product line to include a complete suite of non-refillable, refillable and recovery cylinders.

“The transition to A2L refrigerants in residential and light commercial equipment is well underway. We moved quickly to support our customers and help accelerate use of these refrigerants that have a significantly lower global warming potential by expanding our portfolio to include additional options that are specifically designed to safely store and transport A2L refrigerant gases.
