Daikin, a Japan-based global leader in HVAC-R solutions, has announced a strategic partnership with Al Shola, a renowned provider of temporary cooling and equipment rental services in the UAE, with a view to delivering comprehensive, high-performance cooling solutions tailored to the demands of the Gulf region.

Combining Daikin’s world-class manufacturing capabilities and energy-efficient HVAC-R systems with Al Shola’s operational excellence and extensive rental network, the partnership aims to offer end-to-end solutions – from system supply to on-site installation and ongoing maintenance.
