LONDON–(Business Wire)–
Global Insulation Logistics (GIL) Ltd together with insulated panel
manufacturer, Eurobond, today signed an exclusive 10 year partnership agreement
with TechXact, the leading consultancy and developer of data centres in the
Middle East and North Africa. This marks a major development in GIL`s presence
in the region and together they will jointly market and sell their products and
services in data centre construction.
Mr Mehdi Paryavi President of TechXact commented: “We first met the directors of
GIL at a data centre strategies conference in Abu Dhabi last June and we were
very impressed with the company`s ethos and heritage in providing data centre
solutions. While we looked at other companies, nobody really came close or had
the kind of fire rated composite technology for insulated construction we
desperately needed and we instantly saw the benefits of the Eurobond panels and
GIL`s unique approach.”
TechXact markets a newly developed German, State -Of -The-Art, Fire Prevention
System called OxyReduct. OxyReduct (Oxygen Reduction) is Fire Prevention through
the extraction of oxygen. In order for a fire to start, heat and oxygen from the
atmosphere are needed. If the oxygen level is reduced flammability levels also
decline. By introducing nitrogen the oxygen content can be reduced and held at a
pre- atmosphere, outbreak of fire can be excluded. This innovative system relies
on “sealed ” rooms which is impossible to achieve using traditional methods of
construction. GIL’s insulated construction system provides the appropriate
containment for them to apply their fire resistant system.
Greg Hodge, founder and director of Global Insulation Logistics said: “We have
become very aware that there is a growing data centre market in the Middle East
and Africa and we have been determined to make our mark in this region. Working
with TechXact gives us the opportunity to not only partner with one of the best
data centre construction companies in the Middle East, but also to have access
to their premium contacts and experience in the region. As most UK companies are
well aware of, this region is typically well known for its challenges, so
working with TechXact presents us with a valuable and unique opportunity to
penetrate this market effectively. It also strengthens our network of partners
across EMEA and Asia.”
Eurobond, manufacturer of composite insulated panels, is the co-signatory on
this agreement as GIL`s main supplier. Simon Thomas, Managing director of
Eurobond explained: “We have been keen to exploit opportunities in this region
for some time, but lacked the experience in both data centre construction and
dealing in the Middle East. Being included as a key partner into this agreement
allows Eurobond to take advantage of GIL`s international experience.”
GIL recently participated in TechXact`s key event by attending the Data Centre
Tops conference in January in Abu Dhabi where over 300 major VIP decision makers
attended.
