MHI says it expects the reorganisation to encourage swifter decision making and increased operational efficiency. Specifically, the new company will devote its effort on developing high performance heat pump products, as well as high-efficiency products using low GWP refrigerants.

MHI first announced the split in February citing a need to strengthen the ability of its AC&R business to react to economic trends and environmental regulations in the face of harsh domestic and overseas competition.
