Mitsubishi Electric to Increase Production of Air Conditioning Compressors

Mitsubishi Electric

International. Mitsubishi Electric Corporation announced that it will invest approximately $18 million to increase production capacity at the company's air conditioning compressor production base, Siam Compressor Industry Co., Ltd (SCI), in Thailand.

Annual production of scroll compressors will eventually expand to 870,000 units, up from 745,000 units. The factory will increase production from October 2022. As part of the expansion, the improved factory will adopt several new environmental measures, such as integrated production processes to shorten production cycles and energy-saving production methods to reduce CO2 emissions.

In the European heating system market, boiler-type heaters that rely on fossil fuels are rapidly being replaced by air-water heat pumps and water heaters in line with Europe's decarbonisation policies. In addition, the need for air conditioners has increased due to stay-at-home protocols implemented in response to the coronavirus.

In the future, the demand for air conditioners for large rooms, especially in the US, is expected to continue to increase. Mitsubishi Electric will now respond to these demands by expanding its production of air conditioning compressors in Thailand to mainly supply the European and US markets.
