Schleuniger Provides Support and
Flexibility to Goodman Manufacturing’s
Wire Harness Assembly Process
Goodman Manufacturing Company LP., located in Waller, Texas, is a leading
manufacturer of HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning) products.
It is a subsidiary of Daikin Industries Ltd., a global Fortune 1000 company.
In 2016 the company broke ground on a new 4.2 million square foot facility
in Waller, TX.
Goodman had owned and operated a variety of
wire processing equipment at two of their four
facilities. As they prepared to consolidate all
four facilities into the new Waller location, a
decision had to be made whether or not they
would keep the existing mix of equipment or
pursue plans to upgrade the department with
new wire processing equipment. When they
decided on the latter, they needed to determine
what options were now available and whether
their current suppliers still offered the best
solution to meet their needs.
4 WIRE NEWS December 2018
The company colors, cuts, strips, and terminates
wires to assemble harnesses for Daikin, Goodman
and Amana HVAC units. They are continually
challenged to incorporate more advanced
applications such as wire printing, doubling, barcode
labeling and more while maintaining the current
value added processes. This must be accomplished
without lengthening process times, or affecting the
overall production volumes. They needed equipment
that would provide them with that flexibility now
and in the future.
