Heat and Control has increased its presence in Mexico. The Jalisco factory is the largest of the Heat and Control assets and acts as the headquarters for Mexico and Latin American activities. It is located between Guadalajara and Lake Chapala.
Heat and Control commenced operations in Mexico in 1985. The team has played an important role in the growth of the food industry, aiding in the supply of processing technology to the global market that integrates breakthroughs in production efficiency, sustainability, and decreased environmental effects.
Food companies from across the world will have additional opportunities to test Heat and Control equipment in the 3,604-square-meter exhibition building named after designer Andy Caridis, who has played a key role in the industry’s growth and operations in Mexico. The “Centro Técnico Andy Caridis” provides inspection, packing, and access to six process manufacturing lines, which include Masa Maker, taco/tostada equipment, and other culinary equipment. The company’s capacity to handle both new and existing clients will be substantially enhanced by the new site.
“This new facility will benefit Heat and Control globally, provide additional support to our customers, and further reinforce our commitment to serving the industry,” Heat and Control President Tony Caridis stated.
The overall working area of 33,134 square metres includes a warehouse, production, R&D, demonstration facility, and offices. Because of the 22,380 square metres of manufacturing and warehouse (M&W) footprint, Heat and Control’s global M&W warehouse capacity now surpasses 101,000 square metres.
“We have ten plants worldwide, and we are now the largest.” This gives us great pride, and we look forward to sharing the chances that the Guadalajara team can bring with the rest of the globe,” Arturo Lorenzana Guerrero, Director, Heat and Control Mexico, remarked.
Clients will be able to use the new facility to apply processing technologies that will help them reach their environmental goals by lowering fuel costs, energy waste, and water use. The Heat and Control Mexico facility also houses high-edge manufacturing technology such as fibre lasers for cutting flat and tube material, water jet cutting equipment, deburring machines, and a powder coating processing booth measuring 24.38 metres.
