Jafza gets a new production facility: Dubai’s Jebel Ali Freezone (Jafza) inked an agreement with German technology company Allied Heat Exchange AG (A-Heat) to establish a heat exchanger production facility at DP World’s flagship freezone, according to a statement released on Thursday. The size of the investment ticket and the project timeline have not been disclosed.

Details: The production and distribution facility — said to be the largest in the GCC — covers an area spanning 1.2 mn sq ft with a built-up area of 400k square feet. The facility will be developed by Jafza and operated by cooling systems manufacturer Güntner — A-Heat’s flagship brand — in a bid to produce high-performance heat exchangers to optimize efficiency and reduce energy consumption.

Boosting exports: The hub will be used by the German firm as a production and distribution center in a bid to export the heat exchangers to several markets, including GCC countries, Africa, Asia, and others.

Energy efficiency in mind: The center will provide “advanced and energy-efficient cooling solutions for industries that depend on optimal thermal management,” executive board member at A-Heat Hubert Spegel said. The facility will also make the aicoresmart control solutions, which optimizes cooling systems by adjusting their operations and cutting energy use by up to 30%.

About A-Heat: The A-Heat Group specializes in refrigeration, process refrigeration air conditioning and heat-transfer technology, according to the company’s website. They apply their services in areas such as automotive and transport logistics, infrastructure, communication, energy and environmental technology, F&B and process engineering.
