Leading by Example: Growing Through Resilience at Thermo King in South Carolina - Seite 3
The successful, accelerated launch of operations at Thermo King Greenville required significant cross-functional collaboration and strategic support from Trane Technologies at every level, from government relations to sourcing and procurement. And the project team liaised with Trane to procure and install world-class heat pump chillers for electrified heating and cooling.
Preparation, foresight and shared company knowledge supported the equally rapid buildout of a new, 200-person team before opening: While the plant was under construction, the management and project teams worked together to recruit, onboard and train 200 new team members in preparation for launch day.
Even as their own facility was being repaired and rebuilt, the team from Arecibo was instrumental in that training and preparation. New Greenville-based employees from all major functions spent multiple weeks in Arecibo, benchmarking and learning about the Precedent production line and overall site operations. Key project team members in EHS, Quality, Manufacturing and IT assumed responsibility for both Greenville and Arecibo operations, ensuring consistent processes across the company.
And in October 2023 Arecibo resumed full operations.
Facing the future
Today, Thermo King is continuing to innovate for a resilient future. The Greenville and Arecibo plants have both adopted returnable packaging loops; now Greenville will be phasing in returnable metal shipping crates and can quickly reconfigure assembly lines to support an expanded electrified product portfolio.
"This team overcame several hurdles during the project, including equipment and construction delays," said Joe Murphy, program manager, Thermo King Americas. "But thanks to collaborative efforts and support from around our business, Thermo King is now positioned for the future of transport and ready to meet customer needs."
