The EMEA region is of vital importance to the global data center 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 Center 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.

‘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,’ explained Ait Younes. ‘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.’

‘For large commercial and industrial brown field and green field 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.’ explained Suresh Balakrishnan, managing director of STULZ India.

The Center 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. Marcus Jänsch commented, ‘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 centers and other commercial/industrial applications. I’m looking forward to creating more successful and productive collaborations with consultants, planners and customers from across EMEA.’

To further celebrate the opening of its Center of Excellence, STULZ will attend this year’s GITEX Global in Dubai, which takes place between 14th-18th October at the Dubai World Trade Centre.

‘STULZ has grown significantly over the past 75 years, establishing a global network of over 150 subsidiaries and partners,’ said Karim Ait Younes. ‘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”
