Thermal and electrical systems for commercial vehicles, power generation, and energy transition
Phillips & Temro Industries manufactures heating, cooling, and electrification systems for heavy-duty trucks, off-road vehicles, oil and gas, and power generation markets. The company is mid-sized (501–1,000 employees) and privately held since 1920. The tech stack is conventional for industrial manufacturing—CAD tools (SolidWorks, AutoCAD), enterprise systems (SAP, Microsoft 365), and quality/analytics software (Minitab, JMP)—with no emerging-tech adoption visible, suggesting the org is not yet aggressively digitizing.
