Did you know2023
Mayekawa's MYCOM compressors serve industrial refrigeration cold chain (keeping food frozen) while the same company's food processing robots handle deboning and portioning of meat and poultry before that food enters cold storage -- and its industrial heat pumps recover waste heat from refrigeration systems for facility space heating. Mayekawa has positioned itself at three points in the same food supply chain: process automation (robots that cut and portion food), cold preservation (compressors that keep food frozen), and energy recovery (heat pumps that capture heat generated by refrigeration). A single Japanese compressor company has integrated vertically into the operational envelope of a food processing facility. A Mayekawa manufacturing disruption or a quality recall would simultaneously affect cold storage compressor availability, meat processing automation, and facility heat recovery systems in the same customer facilities.
Mayekawa Manufacturing Co., Ltd. ↗Origin2023
Mayekawa was founded in 1924 in Tokyo by Terukichi Mayekawa, who built the company's early business manufacturing compressors for Japanese ice plants -- refrigeration for fish preservation in Japan's fishing industry. The MYCOM brand (from Mayekawa Company) grew alongside Japan's postwar industrial and food processing expansion, becoming dominant in Asia-Pacific industrial ammonia refrigeration. Mayekawa's 2019 opening of a European production facility in Zaventem, Belgium (adjacent to Brussels International Airport) was a strategic move to localize European supply chain service for the growing ammonia refrigeration market as HFC phase-down regulations drive conversion to natural refrigerants. The Katy, Texas facility serves North American food processing cold chain. Mayekawa's expansion into food processing robots and industrial heat pumps reflects a deliberate strategy: own not just the cold chain compressor, but also the automation that processes food before it enters cold storage and the heat recovery that makes the cold chain facility energy-efficient.
