People in the U.S. know Portacool and their line of evaporative coolers, but Portacool is also a chilling force in 56 other countries. Ziad Ibrahim, Regional Sales Manager for Portacool’s Middle East and North Africa Segments, dropped by to talk about the unique cooling needs of this region of the globe.
The challenge for the Middle East and North Africa is no surprise—it’s hot in these regions, and the summer months are some of the hottest anywhere on the planet. Cooling solutions are needed to make work conditions tolerable. Ibrahim said Portacool offers a range of cooling products that can cool areas from 900 to 5,625 square feet. These solutions work in places where traditional AC units won’t fit or are too cost-prohibitive. “It is the perfect product for the perfect region,” Ibrahim said.
Ibrahim works with a wide range of industries in the Middle East and North Africa. But manufacturing settings and the oil & gas industry are a few markets that rely on Portacool’s solutions. “Steel fabrication, glass factories, paper factories, you name it,” Ibrahim said. “It’s an endless list of places.”
