DUBAI, UAE, 1 August 2024: STULZ has announced the opening of its Center of Excellence (CoE) in Dubai. Making the announcement through a Press Release, STULZ said the CoE is located in Silicon Oasis, in Dubai Digital Park, and will enable it to further expand its presence across Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) region, building on what it described as its reputation for providing efficient and reliable climate control solutions for data centres, commercial and industrial applications.

The EMEA region, STULZ said, 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 said its team will be operating the CoE, headed by Karim Ait Younes, Head of Sales (EMEA). He will be 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 (EMEA COE). STULZ said 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.

Ait Younes said: “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. 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.

“STULZ has grown significantly over the past 75 years, establishing a global network of over 150 subsidiaries and partners. 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.”

Suresh Balakrishnan, Managing Director, STULZ (India), said, “For large commercial and industrial brownfield and greenfield 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.”

Jänsch said, “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 am looking forward to creating more successful and productive collaborations with consultants, planners and customers from across EMEA.”

The COE, STULZ said, will offer a range of services including pre-sales support, expert advice on project planning, as well as computational fluid dynamics (CFD) design, performance and analysis.
