USA: Air conditioning and refrigeration components company DiversiTech is to open a new facility in  Leesburg, Florida, in a $2.1m capital investment project.

The new factory, in Leesburg’s Carver Heights/Montclair area, will be used to expand production of DiversiTech’s range of concrete air conditioning condenser pads. The new plant is the company’s second manufacturing plant in Florida and its seventh manufacturing site in the USA.
