Mitsubishi Electric Hydronics & IT Cooling Systems S.p.A. (MEHITS), headquartered in Italy, has acquired a stake in Intramech Pty Ltd., a Republic of South Africa HVAC company.
By deepening its relationship with Intramech, a company with strengths in sales, service and engineering in southern Africa, Mitsubishi Electric expects to expand both companies’ know-how as well as enhance its own one-stop service capabilities for applied HVAC and IT cooling systems.
In combining Mitsubishi Electric’s product lineup with Intramech’s know-how and local capabilities, the two companies will complement each other’s expertise in maintenance services, equipment engineering and system integration. Together, they will offer one-stop services, including design-related technical support, sales, installation, operation and maintenance, across southern Africa.
Data centre construction is increasing worldwide, including in Africa, leading to a growing demand for IT cooling.
Just last week MEHITS, established a subsidiary company, MEHITS Middle East FZCO, in the Dubai Airport Freezone in the Emirate of Dubai, United Arab Emirates, aiming to strengthen its air conditioning business presence in the region.
MEHITS Middle East FZCO will serve as a regional hub for air conditioning and IT cooling operations, the company said.
