April 24, 2023

Heat and Control Inc. has opened a new facility in Mexico. Nestled between Guadalajara and Lake Chapala, the Jalisco facility is the largest of the Heat and Control properties, and the head office for Mexico and Latin American operations.

Heat and Control commenced operations in Mexico in 1985. The team has been integral to the growth of the food industry, helping to deliver processing technology that features improvements in production efficiency, sustainability, and reduced environmental impact to the global market.

Food companies around the world will have increased opportunities to test Heat and Control equipment in the 38,793 square foot (sq. ft.) demonstration center named in honor of founder Andy Caridis, who has been integral to the growth of the industry and operations in Mexico. The Centro Tecnico Andy Caridis includes access to inspection, packaging, and six process production lines including Masa Maker™, taco/tostada, and other food equipment. The new facility will significantly expand the company’s abilities to serve new and existing customers.

The total operational size of 356,651 sq. ft. includes a warehouse, manufacturing, research and development and demonstration center, and offices. The manufacturing and warehouse (MW) footprint of 240,896 sq. ft. takes Heat and Control’s global MW warehouse capacity to over one million sq. ft.

The new facility will assist customers in adopting processing technology that meets environmental goals with proven systems that reduce fuel costs, energy waste, and water consumption. The Heat and Control Mexico facility also features new manufacturing technologies, such as the latest material automation machinery with fiber laser for cutting flat and tube material, water jet cutting equipment, deburring machines, and an 80 ft. powder coating processing booth.

The new address is:

Avenida Acueducto Sur 110
 Parque Industrial San Jorge
 La Calera, Tlajomulco de Zúñiga,
 Jalisco, CP 45678 Mexico
