Mitsubishi Electric Air Conditioning bases its European operations at two sites - one production plant and one co-ordination centre - located in Livingstone, UK. The existence of the production plant and its large storage facilities guarantees product availability and logistical efficiency. A programme of further expansion of the factory's production capacity is also under way and will increase the quantity of products available for distribution in Europe. The factory also runs many training programmes for updating the technical skills of its personnel. The centre for co-ordinating the activities of all the air conditioning divisions of the European subsidiaries harmonises the national sales policies, to ensure a high level of control over distribution.
