MEXICO: Heat transfer product manufacturer Luvata has commenced construction of a coil coating plant in Mexico.
Construction of the new multi-million-dollar facility in Coahuila, north-eastern Mexico includes 50,000ft2 of manufacturing space and 7,000ft2 of offices. The plant is expected to be operational in the second quarter of 2013 and Luvata estimates 45 employees will be needed to operate the plant at full capacity.

The plant will offer two proven protective coatings for air conditioning and refrigeration equipment - ElectroFin E-coat and Luvata Insitu.

The new facility, located 40 miles from an existing Luvata facility in Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, is an area which is also home to Lennox International, Carrier and Whirlpool.
