STULZ, a manufacturer of energy-efficient air conditioning solutions for data centres and critical applications, has announced the opening of its new Center of Excellence (COE) in Dubai. They describe it as a vital location to the global data centre industry, driven by its strategic location, growing digital economy and substantial investments in infrastructure and technology.
Located in the Silicon Oasis in Dubai Digital Park, the Center of Excellence will enable STULZ to expand its presence across Europe further, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA) region, building on its reputation as a pioneer in the provision of efficient and reliable climate control solutions for data centres, commercial and industrial applications.
A team of company experts will operate its Center of Excellence, headed by Karim Ait Younes, head of sales EMEA. He is joined by Olaf Kempcke as senior key account manager MEA, Joe Thomas as key account technical sales manager Europe and Marcus Jänsch as operational manager of the EMEA COE. A solution architecture team in India, led by Sanjay Jadhav and assisted by Anand Babadi, will support the COE in providing consulting services for the complete STULZ product range, serving commercial and industrial clients for the Middle East and Africa.
“The creation of our COE in Dubai is an important next step in strengthening our sales organisation in the EMEA region and allows us to advise and support our customers even more intensively,” explained Ait Younes. “Being strategically located in close proximity to consultants and planners across the region enables us to be directly involved with their projects and, in turn, develop the best possible solution for them.”
“For large commercial and industrial brown field and green field projects, STULZ will be a key enabler for introduction of technologically advanced solutions that not only reduce energy consumption and carbon footprints but also offer a rapid return on investment,” explained Suresh Balakrishnan, managing director of STULZ India.
The Center of Excellence will offer a range of services, including pre-sales support, advice on project planning, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) design, performance, and analysis. Marcus Jänsch commented: “As a leading manufacturer, we can provide vital advice and support, from the initial concept to the implementation of complex air conditioning solutions for data centres and other commercial/industrial applications. I’m looking forward to creating more successful and productive collaborations with consultants, planners and customers from across EMEA.”
To celebrate the opening of its Center of Excellence, STULZ will attend this year’s GITEX Global in Dubai, which will take place between 14th and 18th October at the Dubai World Trade Centre.
“STULZ has grown significantly over the past 75 years, establishing a global network of over 150 subsidiaries and partners,” said Karim Ait Younes. “Our commitment to innovation has been a cornerstone of our success, and the new Center of Excellence is proof of that. I’m very much looking forward to GITEX Global, where visitors can speak to our team of experts”
