Tuna Gulenc, Vice President-Sales at Daikin MEA says, ‘With the new store opening, Daikin aims to respond to the growing needs of the Nigerian market, introducing technologies and products that ensure the best air quality, comfort, and energy efficiency. Reports indicate that some air conditioners are not suitable for the Nigerian environment, constituting in health hazards and accidents, resulting from a lack of access to advanced systems and mechanical expertise. After carefully studying the market landscape and air quality levels in the country, we at Daikin look forward to expanding our expertise to the market and providing high-level air conditioning systems while taking the environment into consideration.’

Across the regions it operates in, Daikin Europe aims to deliver high added value through local and tailored solutions.

It is introducing new inverter R32 product solutions in its market, mainly split and mini VRV that combine superior performance with lower operational costs and lower environmental impact.

Daikin MEA intends to build a cleaner environment in the African region by appointing new channel partners in Africa to strive for access to better air quality and energy efficiency. At the same it is strengthening its service and aftermarket support.  In function of its expansion strategy in Africa, Daikin MEA had already opened as dedicated sales and service office in Lagos, Nigeria in 2020. The new Daikin Brand Shop further enables the local Nigerian teams to provide complete HVAC-R advise, solutions and aftermarket support for all projects and applications.
