Hispacold Dealership Announced
-27/05/14
A new exciting venture for
Airconco Ltd in 2014 is the announcement that we have become a UK
Service & Parts Dealer for Internacional Hispacold S.A.
Airconco has
had a long dealer association with other leading brands such as Eberspächer Sütrak, Heavac, Sanz Clima, UWE and Webasto, our repute
and commitment to those brands in stock availability and service
support has not gone un-noticed by Hispacold who saw us as an ideal
partner to further their presence in the UK.
The bulk of Hispacold’s
systems are found on Irizar and Unvi bodied vehicles in the UK and
although Airconco have been dealing with Hispacold parts for some
time now, forging a direct partnership with Hispacold only has
benefits to the UK market and those operators across the country who
have vehicles with Hispacold systems fitted, many of which have been
forced over the years to use truck dealerships to source parts
quickly.
Through a stock investment approaching £100k we aim to more
efficiently serve the UK market and assist any service enquiries
nationwide.

Press Release -
Eberspächer
Aquires
Sütrak, 01/04/10
Esslingen / Renningen, Germany, 1.4.2010
– With today’s acquisition of SÜTRAK, a leading
global provider of bus air-conditioning systems, J. Eberspächer GmbH
& Co KG has positioned itself in the bus and coach market as a
full-range provider for heating and cooling systems. The
Esslingen-based automotive supplier has acquired the SÜTRAK bus
air-conditioning systems business in Europe, the Middle East and
Africa and signed an agreement to acquire related distribution
operations in Mexico and India from Carrier Corp. (USA), a business
unit of United Technologies Corp.
“The fusion of SÜTRAK and Eberspächer sees two renowned providers
in the area of heating and cooling coming together to cover the
entire range of thermal management in the bus market”, explained Dr.
Leonhard Vilser, Eberspächer CEO for vehicle heating systems. Dr.
Vilser added that he expects an extensive range of synergy as a
result of the union. “In the bus market, in particular, our
customers are increasingly demanding complete vehicle
temperature-control solutions. We have now addressed these market
demands with the acquisition of SÜTRAK.”
Eberspächer is the only manufacturer that covers the entire bus
spectrum with its heater systems, from the minibus (5 kW heater) to
the 20-seater (12 kW) and on to the large touring bus (35 kW). As a
result of the acquisition, Eberspächer is now able to provide its
customers with complete rooftop air-conditioning systems for all
kinds of buses, as well as components such as evaporators,
condensers or compressors.
The acquired business had sales of approximately $90 million and
more than 200 employees in 2009 engaged in supplying several
well-known bus manufacturers, fleet operators and aftermarket
partners.
The head office of the new subsidiary, Eberspächer Sütrak
GmbH & Co. KG, located in Renningen, Germany, employs 135 people in
sales, research and development, production and administration.
Other important locations in the acquisition package are a
production plant in Madrid and a distribution company in Mexico
City, along with numerous sales and service offices throughout
Europe, the Middle East, Africa and India.
