Hanon Systems, an automotive thermal management supplier for electrified mobility, announced a new plant in Woodbridge, Ontario, Canada, to support its growing business with global vehicle manufacturers.

The facility includes approximately 284,200 square feet (26,400 square meters) of manufacturing space, with room for expansion based on business needs. It will be the company’s first North American location to produce electric scroll compressors, which are essential components for thermal management in hybrid and battery electric vehicles. Depending on customer demand, the facility can produce up to 900,000 electric compressors annually. At full production, the plant expects to employ nearly 300 hourly and salaried employees.

The new facility in Canada joins the four existing electric compressor manufacturing operations located in Pyeongtaek (Korea), Dalian and Changchun (China), and Portugal (Europe), and reinforces its competitiveness by expanding production of key components for hybrid and battery electric vehicles.

Company executives and local dignitaries gathered at a media event to announce the new plant, which is expected to start the production in the first half of 2025.

Hanon Systems has a proud 35-year history in Canada. The Belleville plant, established in 1989, has been producing fluid transport products, HVAC modules and electronic coolant valves for the North American market. Located 200 kilometers from Belleville, the new Woodbridge plant will create synergies with the company’s Americas Innovation Center in Novi, Mich., and will benefit from its proximity to major automakers, allowing the company to respond quickly to customer demands.
