GRAND OPENING: Getting ready to cut the ribbon during the May 27 grand opening of the Baltimore Aircoil Co. factory in Ciénega de Flores, Nuevo León, Mexico, which is near Monterrey.


June 8, 2026

JESSUP, Md. — Baltimore Aircoil Co. Inc. (BAC), which designs and manufactures heat transfer and thermal management equipment, opened a manufacturing facility in Ciénega de Flores, Nuevo León, Mexico, last month. The new facility, near Monterrey, strengthens BAC’s regional manufacturing footprint and expands support for customers in Latin America, a press release from the company said.

The May 27 grand opening brought together government officials, community leaders, BAC management, employees, customers, and partners. Attendees included Miguel Ángel Quiroga Treviño, mayor of Ciénega de Flores, and representatives from Amsted Industries, BAC’s parent company, including Stephen Smith, chairman, president and CEO; Wayne Luce, vice president — people; and Chris Meyers, vice president of finance and chief financial officer.

“The Monterrey plant represents an important milestone for BAC as our first manufacturing facility in Latin America and a key center for driving regional growth,” said José Fernandes, managing director for Latin America at BAC. “This facility strengthens our ability to better serve our Latin American customers with enhanced manufacturing, logistics, and distribution capabilities.”

Luke Rubino, BAC’s global vice president and head of the Americas, spoke to the broader significance of the investment and BAC’s growth across the region. “Across the Americas, we are seeing tremendous growth,” said Rubino. “Driven by urbanization, infrastructure investment, industrial expansion, and an increasing focus on sustainability, demand for a partner with technical expertise, high-performing products, and reliable operational performance is growing across every market we serve. Our customers are expanding, investing, and raising expectations and as industry leaders, that requires us to invest in the right places and with the right capabilities. That is exactly what today represents.”

The facility offers access to major logistics corridors, strong industrial infrastructure, and close integration with the region’s manufacturing ecosystem, the press release said. The site will serve as a distribution and manufacturing center designed to support evolving customer needs across Latin America.

Since 2019, BAC has invested significantly in new facilities and operations worldwide, the press release said. “We have invested more in the last six years than in the previous two decades combined,” said Donald Fetzer, company president. “This facility reflects our long-term commitment to innovation, operational excellence, and supporting our customers throughout the region.”
