The factory was founded in Manheim in 2001, and joins the Mexico City office and five sales offices in the Americas: Atlanta, Lancaster, Milwaukee, Los Angeles and Monterrey, which employ a total of around 55 people.

The doubling of the Group’s production plant and HQ in North America will bring significant improvements in the service level provided to the market and in procurement lead times, increasing the number of employees at Manheim to around 70, the majority of whom are involved in operations, logistics, HR, Finance, Quality, R&D and marketing, supply chain and customer care.

There will also continue to be a strong commitment to training: in addition to offering remote installation and monitoring services, Carel USA organises SW and SW application development training courses in the air-conditioning and refrigeration markets.
