- PRESS RELEASE
Zamil CoolCare, the regional leader in providing after sales services to the HVAC industry, has signed an agreement worth SAR 21.5 million (USD 5.8 million) with Saudi Electric Company (SEC) to service and maintain HVAC equipment at the transmission and substation facilities in the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia.
"We are extremely pleased that Zamil CoolCare has prevailed over tough, major market-wide competition to win this contract. We can undoubtedly attribute the win, at least in part, to our outstanding performance at other Saudi Electricity Company facilities. We look forward to providing the same high quality HVAC services to the SEC Eastern Province substations as we have at SEC's other regional locations", said Osama Bunyan, Executive Vice President, Zamil Air Conditioners.
The recently signed contract represents the latest in a series of agreements between the two companies. Previous contracts with SEC, which totaled SAR 87 million (USD 23.2 million), called for the provision of maintenance, repair and other services, as well as supplying various air conditioning systems to SEC facilities around the kingdom.
"SEC is pleased to announce the expansion of its affiliation with Zamil CoolCare. Based on the excellent support delivered by the company pursuant to past contracts, we look forward to a long and beneficial association with this trusted HVAC services partner," stated Dr. Ibrahim Al-Hamoudi, Executive Vice President, Transmission Area, SEC.
In response to growing regional demand for quality HVAC maintenance, repair and other services, Zamil CoolCare expanded its regional network of offices and service and parts centers, and has become the leading HVAC services company in the region.
