With tougher energy efficiency norms coming into play in India, Tecumseh Products Company LLC, a global manufacturer of compressors for commercial and residential refrigeration is planning to bring new compressor platforms to the country to meet the requirement.
“We are considering to bring compressor platforms that are not present today, that could be also a very important point of key supply chains for the market here, like residential air conditioning, and also commercial cooling needs. We are working hard in this direction,” said Ricardo Alexandre Maciel, Chief Executive Officer, Tecumseh Products Company LLC in an interview.
“And hopefully we are going to have announcements to make in the near future that will be very impactful for the market,” he said.
“Just to reinforce our commitment to India, to the market here, we are building together with our partners here the future of the cooling and refrigeration industry in this country. And we are going to keep going like that,” he added.
