Mitsubishi Electric Trane HVAC US LLC (METUS), a leading supplier of ductless and ducted mini-split and variable refrigerant flow (VRF) heat pump and air-conditioning systems, celebrated the opening of its Distribution and Training Center in Florence, New Jersey with a ribbon-cutting ceremony held April 26. Strategically positioned near the New Jersey and Pennsylvania Turnpikes, this new 400,000-square-foot facility is intended to strengthen the company’s supply chain and provide efficient heat pump distribution to the Northeastern U.S.

Government officials in attendance included representatives from the Florence Township Council, the New Jersey State Assembly, U.S. Representative Andy Kim’s office (N.J.) and U.S. Senator Cory Booker’s office (N.J). When asked about the significance of the new facility, Florence Township Mayor Craig Wilkie said, “We welcome Mitsubishi Electric Trane HVAC, which manufactures and distributes energy-efficient heating and cooling systems and equipment with ‘green’ technology, to Florence Township. Located on an environmentally remediated site that once provided the world with cast iron pipe during the 19th and 20th centuries, the company will bring new jobs to the Township and region. Florence Townships looks forward to a long-term, mutually beneficial relationship with Mitsubishi Electric Trane HVAC.”
