Mitsubishi Electric - Our 30th Anniversary in Livingston

Mitsubishi Electric celebrates 30th anniversary of Livingston factory

Mitsubishi Electric has marked the 30th anniversary of its factory in Livingston, Scotland, an advanced facility for the manufacture of heat pumps as the nation looks to reach net zero.

Established in 1993, the Livingston plant has been manufacturing air conditioning units for 30 years and producing heat pumps for installation across the UK and Europe since 2009. Currently, it is the largest heat pump manufacturer in the UK, employing approximately 1000 people and helping to support investment in Scotland's green economy and the wider transition to low-carbon heating.

To mark the occasion, Mitsubishi Electric hosted an anniversary event at the factory on 6th July 2023. Key government and industry figures attending included Patrick Harvie, Minister for Zero Carbon Buildings, Hannah Bardell, MP for Livingston, and Tadashi Fujiwara, the Consul General of Japan in Edinburgh.

Continued investment by Mitsubishi Electric, together with support from Scottish Enterprise, has seen the Livingston factory expand and grow in heat pump production.

Rodney Ayre, Senior Department Manager at Livingston, said: “The Livingston factory has been manufacturing heat pumps for well over a decade now, and today offers an important opportunity to mark its invaluable contribution to the green economy. By supporting the manufacturing and installation of heat pumps, the factory plays a vital role in the transition to low carbon heating across the UK and Europe.”

Alongside the 30th anniversary, Mitsubishi Electric also marked the factory's production of its fifth-million product - the new Ecodan R290 air source heat pump for residential buildings. With its low global warming potential (GWP) refrigerant, and flow temperatures of up to 75°C, the R290 heat pump brings unbeatable benefits for home heating.

Russell Dean, Residential Product Group Director at Mitsubishi Electric, said: “We must decarbonise our building stock now, and changing the way we heat our homes will play a critical role in how this is achieved. The production of the Ecodan R290 means we can now provide a heat pump for every home, helping to drive heat pump adoption across the UK and Europe.”

Colleague Testimonials

Owen Smith - Technical Operator

Joined (M-ACE) - February 2017

Position when joining: Production Operator

“While still at school, I attended one week's work experience in Mitsubishi. We were encouraged to apply for Production Operator vacancies, so I did, and shortly managed to secure a job on the assembly line. I started gaining experience by doing various jobs in my area.

During one of Performance Appraisal meetings, I was asked if I would like to learn a skilled job and was thrilled to begin my training as an Approved Brazer shortly after.

In July 2022 I was promoted to Technical Operator position. I'm proud to attend college to achieve a HNC in Engineering Systems. I didn't think I would ever go back to a classroom, but the opportunity given by the Company was hard to refuse.

I'm looking forward to gaining my qualification and progressing to an Engineering role within the Company. To all New Starters: there is a lot more to Mitsubishi than you may think and working in a factory is a much better than you expect. You can progress and build a career here. Be positive, enthusiastic, and proactive - give it your all and you will get the best out of it”.

Marc Bell - Process Coordinator

Joined M-ACE - November 2020

Position when joining: Production Operator

"I joined Mitsubishi in November 2020 as a Production Operator in the Heat Exchanger area. From the beginning I enjoyed learning new things and quickly became signed off competent to perform key jobs in my area. Later I gained two skilled jobs: Expander and Fin Press, which are crucial machines in the factory.

I progressed to the Process Coordinator position in June 2023. I have learned a lot about the Company's processes and procedures. Attending a 'Train the Trainer' course improved my communication skills and allowed me to gain confidence in delivering training to my colleagues.

What I like about Mitsubishi is that the team you work with becomes your family: we work together, help each other, learn from one another, and even socialise after work.

Every day in Mitsubishi is a learning curve. I'm looking forward to new challenges and opportunities to progress. I remain committed to my work in the hope of becoming a Production Supervisor in future."

Liam Carson - Customer Service Department Manager

Joined M-ACE: March 2016

Starting role: Graduate Field Support Engineer

“I Joined M-ACE after working for 18 months at another Japanese company in a technical support role following graduation from university. As Field Support Engineer I was provided a platform to build upon strong engineering foundations and develop both professionally and personally. I encountered challenging problem-solving situations in a customer facing environment on a regular basis and felt like I was contributing positively to the department and company from a very early stage. My development was continuously supported by my manager and the company, which allowed me to progress to Senior Engineer, Assistant Section Manager and now Department Manager.

I have had the opportunity to travel regularly and form strong working relationships with colleagues from all over Europe and further afield while gaining invaluable knowledge of our products and HVAC technology in general.

I now want to continue to maintain and develop the excellent reputation Mitsubishi Electric has for technical support and customer service and have been given the platform and support to do so”.

Emma McLeod - Janitorial Supervisor

Joined M-ACE: April 2012

Position when joining: Production Operator

"During my time in Mitsubishi, I have discovered that the company has a culture that promotes professional development and enables all employees to increase their skills set without discrimination of any kind.

I have been fortunate enough to have 5 different job roles during my time with the company. I started as an Operator within the Heat Exchange area in 2012. That same year I became a Brazer and was successful in going to Japan twice in that position. I then became a Process Coordinator in the same area before moving on to become the Line Leader and then subsequently the Supervisor of the Janitorial section.

I've had copious amounts of in-house training, mentoring and college courses to ensure I have all the tools I needed to do my job to the best of my ability”.

Sharlene Gordon - Payroll Assistant Section Manager

Joined M-ACE: September 1993

Position when joining: Production Operator

“I first joined Mitsubishi VCR and then moved across to Mitsubishi Air Conditioning, following a path from Production into Payroll Section.

I had worked in a varied number of production areas before taking my career on a new journey by moving in to into HR. Whilst working several years within HR, I completed my CIPD qualification. On my return from maternity leave in 2006 I was given the opportunity to work within the Payroll Section and have remained a valued member of that team. I have learned all aspects of the payroll process whilst completing my CIPP Qualifications, which allowed me to progress from Payroll Administrator to my current position as Assistant Section Manager.

I am grateful for the challenges and opportunities Mitsubishi has given me”.

Joined: November 2013

Position when joining: Production Operator

“Since joining Mitsubishi Electric, I have consistently progressed through the Production Department: from an Operator, Skilled Brazer, Process Coordinator, Line Leader to become a Production Supervisor.

In my time at Mitsubishi, I was given an opportunity to represent our factory in the Global Brazing Competition in Japan in 2015, where I achieved third place. It made me feel very proud to demonstrate that we can achieve such a high level of brazing here in Scotland.

In my current position I have completed IOSHH Managing Safely, ILM Level 3 Certificate in Leadership and Management qualifications, all funded and supported by Mitsubishi Electric.

I am grateful for the opportunities, encouragement, and direction I received from the Company. My goal is to continue to develop my career to secure a managerial role in future”.
