Contributed by BSM Staff

TOKYO – To meet demand in Europe, Mitsubishi Electric Hydronics & IT Cooling Systems has acquired all shares of the APAC group and the COMPAC group, including their operating companies involved in HVAC sales, installation and maintenance.
 
Both groups were headquartered in Utrecht Province in the Netherlands.

The acquisition strengthens Mitsubishi Electric’s one-stop capabilities in Europe by enhancing its ability to provide integrated equipment sales, installation and maintenance services.

By combining the installation and maintenance expertise of the APAC and COMPAC groups with its own extensive product portfolio, Mitsubishi Electric expects to expand its data center cooling systems business across Europe.

Global demand for data center cooling systems has increased significantly in recent years, and Mitsubishi Electric has positioned this sector as one of its key growth businesses.

In Europe, data center development is expanding beyond the traditional hubs of Frankfurt, London, Amsterdam, Paris and Dublin into both northern and southern regions, creating growing demand for advanced cooling solutions.

At the same time, data center operators are increasingly seeking comprehensive service providers that can deliver not only equipment and installation but also maintenance and ongoing support to ensure stable and reliable performance.

To address these market needs, Mitsubishi Electric acquired the APAC group, which has extensive experience designing, selling, installing and maintaining data center server room cooling systems, as well as the COMPAC group, which provides sales, installation and maintenance for applied HVAC systems in factories, offices and commercial facilities.

Going forward, Mitsubishi Electric will leverage the combined strengths of the APAC and COMPAC groups to grow its business in the European data center cooling systems market. Mitsubishi Electric also plans to broaden its portfolio of data center solutions to include utility infrastructure, such as power systems, facility monitoring and security systems, to deliver comprehensive solutions that meet the evolving needs of data center operators.

Founded in 1921, Mitsubishi Electric has over a century of experience in delivering reliable, high-quality products and solutions. With over 200 group companies and approximately 150,000 employees worldwide.
