WEST KINGSTON and HAMBURG – APC-MGE and the air-conditioning experts of Hamburg-based STULZ Gmbh are teaming up to deliver integrated data-center cooling products and services, the companies said today.

“In this age of rising electricity prices and ever more exacting requirements regarding the performance capabilities of data centers, customer demand for energy-efficient, high-availability solutions from a single source is growing,” the companies said in their joint statement. A perimeter cooling system from STULZ will join the APC line, while STULZ customers will gain access to APC’s InRow cooling systems.

“We are delighted to combine STULZ’s perimeter precision cooling expertise, solutions and services with the innovation and strong customer base of APC-MGE to better help our customers address cooling high-efficiency data centers,” Christian Corsin, APC-MGE’s senior vice president of enterprise and systems, said in a statement.

“APC-MGE supplies the electrical systems and together we supply the mechanics,” said Kurt Plötner, director of global product sales and marketing at STULZ, “so we complement one another in an ideal way. At the same time, we will each acquire markets and opportunities that are new to us.”
