Mitsubishi Electric increases air conditioner production in Turkey

Mitsubishi Electric has announced a $18m investment in its Turkish factory to boost air conditioning production and start the manufacture of air source heat pumps at the 40,000m2 facility in Manisa, just inland from the Aegean Sea port of Izmir. 
The plant which started manufacturing in 2017, currently produces around 500,000 room air conditioners (indoor and outdoor) a year. It will begin production of air-to-water (ATW) heat pumps in August next year to compliment production of Ecodan units from the company’s factory in Livingston, Scotland.
