Americold manufactures hermetic compressors for use primarily in household appliances (refrigerators and freezers) and other refrigeration applications (dehumidifiers and refrigerant recycle/reclaim units). Americold is the primary supplier of compressors to Frigidaire who manufactures brands such as Frigidaire, White-Westinghouse, Kelvinator, Gibson – more... and Tappan. In addition, we also supply compressors to General Electric and other companies in the U.S. and worldwide.
Approximately forty percent of plant manufacturing activity involves close tolerance machining (.0001) operations utilizing equipment such as hones, lathes, drills, bores, some computer numerical controlled equipment, heat treat, and some equipment performing multi-machining operations. PLC's are used extensively. Production capacity is more than 4 million units per year.
Approximately 25% of the plant's operation is devoted to compressor assembly. This is a "clean room" controlled environment, which consists of two conveyor type assembly lines.
The remainder of the plant's operations involve; welding, painting, shell fabrication and assembly, warehousing, maintenance, shipping and related support activities.
The plant has been in operation since 1964 and was initially owned by Bendix-Westinghouse. White Consolidated Industries purchased Americold in 1971 and Electrolux purchased White Consolidated Industries 1986. – less – More from ZoomInfo »
