STULZ, a leading manufacturer of energy efficient air conditioning solutions for data centres, has opened a new Centre of Excellence (COE) in Dubai.
Located in the Silicon Oasis in Dubai Digital Park, the Centre of Excellence (COE) will enable STULZ to further expand its presence across Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) region.
The EMEA region is of vital importance to the global data centre industry, driven by its strategic location, growing digital economy and substantial investments in infrastructure and technology.
STULZ has assembled a team of company experts to operate its Centre 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.
STULZ head of sales, Karim Ait Younes, said creation of the centre is an important next step in strengthening the sales organisation in the EMEA region.
"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,“ he said.
The managing director of STULZ India, Suresh Balakrishnan, said for large commercial and industrial brown field and green field projects STULZ will be a key enabler for technologically advanced solutions that not only reduce energy consumption and carbon footprints but also offer a rapid return on investment.
The Centre of Excellence will offer a comprehensive range of services including pre-sales support, expert advice on project planning, as well as computational fluid dynamics (CFD) design, performance and analysis.
The COE’s operational manager, Marcus Jänsch, said STULZ 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," he said.
STULZ has established a global network of over 150 subsidiaries and partners.
