Mitsubishi Electric Trane HVAC US Opens New Jersey Distribution, Training Center

Mitsubishi Electric Trane HVAC US has opened its Distribution and Training Center in Florence, New Jersey with a ribbon-cutting ceremony held April 26. The 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. Rep. Andy Kim’s office and U.S. Sen. Cory Booker’s office.

METUS plans to use the facility to generate 60 distribution center jobs and empower HVAC businesses with the training and support needed to sell, install and service all-climate heat pumps. METUS anticipates that its distributors and their customers will create many jobs.

Beginning in May, the training center plans to host 40-45 classes each year, training 500-600 students annually. Classes are anticipated to cover residential and commercial product lines and subject areas, including heat pump installation, start-up and service essentials, advanced service and controls.

Students will have the opportunity to practice what they learn on actual working Mitsubishi Electric equipment. Products installed in the training center for training purposes include four commercial VRF systems with seven styles of indoor units and seven residential heat pump systems with six styles of indoor units.
