Hanon Systems announced on the 28th (local time) that it will build a new electric compressor factory in Canada. Electric compressors are key components of the thermal management system related to air conditioning operation, battery efficiency, and vehicle performance in hybrid and battery electric vehicles.

The factory, located in Woodbridge, Ontario, Canada, will be the company's first electric compressor plant in North America. It will cover an area of 26,400㎡ and aims to start operations in the first half of next year. The facility will have an annual production capacity of 900,000 units, with additional land secured for future expansion.

The groundbreaking ceremony was attended by local government officials including Vic Fedeli, Ontario Minister of Economic Development, and Steve Del Duca, Mayor of Woodbridge, as well as Hanon Systems executives such as Frederick Flory, Senior Vice President, and Brian Trudeau, Vice President.
