Daikin UAE has announced a strategic partnership with Al Shola, a well-established provider of temporary cooling and equipment rental services, in a move aimed at transforming how the Gulf region accesses energy-efficient rental cooling solutions.
The collaboration unites Daikin’s century-long legacy in HVAC-R innovation with Al Shola’s deep-rooted operational presence and rental network across the UAE. Together, the companies will provide comprehensive, turnkey cooling packages tailored to the needs of construction sites, infrastructure projects, events, and critical facilities operating in some of the world’s harshest climates.
The partnership comes at a time when the demand for flexible, high-performance cooling systems is rapidly growing in the Gulf, driven by a surge in mega-projects, expanding urban infrastructure, and the seasonal intensity of outdoor events. With environmental impact and cost-efficiency at the forefront of regional priorities, the ability to deliver quick-deploy, energy-conscious systems has become increasingly vital.
“This partnership brings together two industry leaders with complementary strengths,” said Mohanad Al Mashaikh, Head of Solutions at Daikin UAE. “Daikin’s commitment to sustainable innovation, paired with Al Shola’s local expertise and service reach, will enable us to deliver exceptional value to our customers.”
Under the agreement, Daikin will supply its advanced, energy-efficient HVAC-R systems, while Al Shola will provide logistics, on-site installation, and ongoing technical support through its well-established rental service infrastructure. The end-to-end solution is designed to support both short-term project needs and longer-term operational requirements across key sectors including construction, healthcare, events, and energy.
Vinayakumar Nair, General Manager at Al Shola, said the partnership is well-positioned to address the UAE and wider region’s pressing need for sustainable cooling solutions.
“Together, we’re introducing scalable, reliable, and environmentally conscious cooling options that cater to a variety of applications. Whether it’s an urgent requirement on a construction site or a long-term deployment at a critical facility, our joint capabilities mean we can deliver faster, more efficiently, and with minimal environmental impact,” he said.
