R-Theta Thermal Solutions Inc., a Canadian company based in Toronto, has joined forces with Ferraz Shawmut Thermal Management. With this acquisition, the scope of Ferraz Shawmut’s cooling unit business has grown in three ways:
- our product range of high tech solutions in water and phase change cooling now embraces R-Theta’s high performance air cooling solutions;
- our geographical coverage is broader than ever, with a North American base joining our historic European plant in La Mure, France, and our brand-new set-up in Kunshan, China;
- our revenue is enhanced by R-Theta’s sales, essentially on the North American market.

This kind of global scale is vital for Ferraz Shawmut Thermal Management, putting us in an ideal position to advise and serve our big OEM customers (manufacturers of electrical and electronic equipment). So Ferraz Shawmut Thermal Management has become a global partner for our key accounts, with the ability to serve them wherever they’re developing and producing around the world.
Ferraz Shawmut Thermal Management’s global business will continue to grow, as it faithfully follows the continuous improvement in the performances of electronic components that makes better cooling a must, as well as the increasing use of electronics in every area of industry, with the development of power efficiency, renewable energies and transportation.
