Through an agreement, APC-MGE and STULZ will deliver customers comprehensive, integrated data center cooling solutions and services. Under the agreement, APC-MGE will add an APC-branded perimeter cooling solution manufactured by STULZ to its comprehensive cooling offering, currently lead by its high-density InRow offering. STULZ will be able to offer APC’s InRow cooling systems to its extensive customer base. Both firms will provide full application engineering support for these solutions and APC-MGE will offer services, including maintenance services, through STULZ service partners.

“Customers can now rely on one vendor to meet all their critical power and cooling needs in the data center,” said Christian Corsin, APC-MGE senior vice president, Enterprise and 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.”

“Our customers will benefit from the accumulated know-how of reliable partners in every aspect of critical infrastructure,” emphasizes Kurt Plötner, director of global product sales and marketing at STULZ. “APC-MGE supplies the electrical systems, and together we supply the mechanics – 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.”
