Schwank later strengthened its presence in the US by starting manufacturing in Waynesboro , Georgia in 1981 .
As the group celebrates 50 years of Schwank North America , we ’ re joined by Sami Elkhazin , President of Schwank North America , to discuss the company ’ s evolution and innovative roots . “ While Schwank ’ s origin is in Europe , the North American division has been incorporated for 50 years , providing smart climate systems for commercial and industrial spaces across the region ,” Sami
