Dubai-based SPC Heat Pipes Industries, a specialist manufacturer and supplier of energy-saving equipment for HVAC (heating, ventilation and air-conditioning) systems, has signed an agreement with Swedish company Heatex AB for the distribution of its air-to-air heat exchangers in the GCC.

As per the deal, SPC will offer customers the complete range of commercial and industrial heat exchangers, featuring both plate and rotary models, for energy recovery, heat recovery and thermal management solutions, said a statement from the company.

Heatex Select Online, the free performance calculation software for Heatex products, will be accessible locally as well, it stated.

The agreement will enable SPC to create an integrated HVAC offering, while Heatex will be able to take advantage of the breadth and depth of the former’s market knowledge as it seeks to raise its profile in the region.

Daghan Inal, the sales manager for Europe, Middle East and Africa, at Heatex AB, said: "We are excited to expand our distribution reach and access new customers through SPC. Our energy-saving heat exchangers will add much value to their green building products offering and help customers mitigate the loss of revenue by cutting energy costs."
