Case Study: Mattel, Inc. improves building comfort and reliability with Southland Industries

Mattel cuts HVAC replacement across 3 buildings with Southland Industries

Southland Industries was engaged by Mattel, Inc. to address operational and comfort issues at its El Segundo campus, where aging mechanical systems were failing. The challenge was to execute a comprehensive mechanical and building automation controls retrofit across multiple facilities while they remained fully operational and on an extremely aggressive schedule.

Southland developed and implemented a rapid equipment replacement plan, which included installing new package units and retrofitting controls. By utilizing meticulous planning, weekend shutdowns, and dual labor shifts, the project was completed with minimal disruption. The solution provided Mattel with significant energy savings, improved equipment reliability, and lower operating costs. Southland continues to maintain the systems through a preventive maintenance agreement, with the customer praising their exceptional and responsive service.
