Italian-based manufacturer of ventilation, cooling and heating systems, Termotecnica Pericoli S.r.l., says the new company opened its doors in Querétaro, Mexico on 1 November 2014.

In recent years, the company has had a low-key presence in the greater America’s however recognising the strength and potential in these markets they have turned their focus towards these markets as part of their global strategy.

Mexico offers a number of advantages and opportunities due to its strategic central location between the large North and South American markets along with many other macro factors.

The primary role of this office will be to function as a local extension of the Pericoli sales and customer service centre in Albenga, Italy, as well as their Malaysian operation.

This office will be able to provide customers with sales, customer service and technical support in regional business hours and in both Spanish and English.

It is fully integrated with the main factory/administration data processing systems and can thus truly operate as an effective extension and provide greater service and support with shorter lead and reaction times.

Director of Termotecnica Pericoli, Mauro Pericoli, commented: “We anticipate that this greater America’s office will be further expanded in 2015 to include local outsourcing and manufacture, as is the case in our Asian facility.”

The office is staffed by a sales and administration team with a wide range of experience and industry knowledge to serve effectively both the domestic Mexican and greater Americas.
