DUBAI, UAE, 4 November 2022: Daikin Middle East and Africa said it will be participating in Gulfood Manufacturing 2022, from November 8 to 10 at the Dubai World Trade Centre. Making the announcement through a Press release, Daikin said it will be exhibiting a wide range of its commercial and industrial refrigeration solutions at the event, in a first for the company regionally.

Daikin said that along with its group-acquired companies – AHT, Zanotti, Tewis, Hubbard and J&E Hall – it brings a one-stop solution for all cold chain and refrigeration needs. It said it would be showcasing products and solutions that are expected to meet the demand of customers but are not limited to HORECA, food retail chain (hypermarkets and supermarkets), logistics providers, food processing facilities or food manufacturers.

“We are excited to participate and showcase our innovative solutions at the region’s largest and leading food and beverage processing and packaging event,” said Sanjeev Maheshwari, General Manager – Service & Refrigeration, Daikin Middle East & Africa. Commenting on addressing climate-change concerns, Maheshwari said: “With over 100 years of experience in the industry, Daikin is on hand, ready to lend its expertise. With water scarcity and drought among pressing climate-change concerns, globally and especially in the Middle East, ensuring long-term food security is at the top of the agenda for regional governments. In response, many GCC [region] nations, among them the UAE and Saudi Arabia, but also African countries, are now looking to bolster their domestic food processing and manufacturing capabilities, as they seek to become increasingly self-sufficient.”

Daikin said that among the solutions it would be showcasing is its Monoblock range for the HORECA industry. The range not only reduces power consumption drastically but also brings quality and speed while installing the product. The company said it would also be exhibiting its AHT products, along with its inverter-driven ZEAS unit for the food retail chain industry. In addition, Daikin said, it would also be displaying its truck refrigeration unit for standard ambient and would be giving a glimpse of upcoming products for high-ambient-temperature regions. Further, the company said, food processors and manufacturers would be able to see its single screw technology, utilised in packed ammonia compressor racks, applied in various storage and processing facilities.

Daikin said it would be at Stand A4-4, in Hall 4.
