Jarn published a comprehensive interview of Luigi Nalini, CAREL CEO
Jarn, the international magazine that covers worldwide information about HVAC&R industry/market, published an interview of CAREL CEO, Luigi Nalini. In this occasion Nalini talks about the Chinese plant that has been settled in Asia 10 years ago and counts today 230 employees. Last year CAREL also opened in Suzhou a HVAC Application Laboratory.
‘In China, we are still growing and gaining market share – Nalini says. – On the other hand, we are still young in China, because we started from zero ten years ago. Now we are increasing our market penetration. The trend of technological improvement, which is now present in China, helps us. We always try to be in the higher edge of technology, and as soon as companies want to increase their technological level, we try to support them'.
Among the international markets, Nalini talks about Brazil, where CAREL is growing by 40%. This is also because CAREL has its own factory there. ‘The duties in Brazil on imports are extremely high, so if you do not have a local manufacturing plant, it is very difficult to operate there'. Regarding the United States, Nalini comments: ‘we are now happy to be riding the technological improvement requirements in the United States where this year, for example, our sales are increasing 13% compared with 2014. We have an office in Manheim, Pennsylvania, and regional offices in Atlanta, close to Washington D.C., California, and the state of New York'.
