Tecumseh Products Company Expands Verona, Mississippi, Manufacturing Operations

11/22/2024
Tecumseh Products Company, a refrigeration and air conditioning products manufacturer, plans to upgrade its operations in Verona, Mississippi. The more than $3.4 million project is expected to create 135 jobs.

The investment includes repairs and upgrades to the roof and lighting in the company’s existing facility, along with additional improvements to employee common spaces and offices.

“For 90 years, Tecumseh has been a leader in the refrigeration and air conditioning markets. As Tecumseh focuses on our next 90 years, our Verona facility is a critical element in our future success. These improvements to the site enable us to modernize our facility to improve our competitiveness in the marketplace and our standing as a preferred employer in the Greater Tupelo area,” North America Managing Director Greg Dwyer advised.

To support the project the Mississippi Development Authority (MDA) is providing assistance for building improvements. Lee County also is assisting with the project.

“MDA is pleased to support Tecumseh as it continues to invest in its Verona operations. This project not only strengthens the company’s long-term commitment to Mississippi, it also ensures the retention of 135 valuable jobs. The upgrades being made at the Verona facility will enhance Tecumseh’s operational efficiency and support its continued growth, both of which benefit the local workforce and economy,” MDA Executive Director Bill Cork noted.

Tecumseh produces a variety of products for use in residential and commercial refrigeration and air conditioning applications. The company is a manufacturer of hermetic compressors, condensing units and associated systems.
