Dubai, UAE, 23 July 2018: Customers in the Middle East are looking for reliability and efficiency, said Johan Samuelsson, Vice President and General Manager MEA, Trane, adding that this is a global trend. Samuelsson said: “The high-efficiency products Trane developed in North America and Europe provide category leading EER and SEER and this is more and more appreciated in the region. Many of the GCC [region] countries are increasing their minimum efficiency standards in order to reduce the demand on their energy infrastructure.”

Samuelsson stressed that because of the stringent performance requirements that the company incorporates during its initial product development, the base products are already built to withstand the heavy demands that are placed on them in the region. “A very good example of this is the Trane unitary rooftop portfolio,” he said, “these are US-made and designed products. If you ask our customers, they will confirm that they are extremely durable and this is not an accident they were designed that way.”
