brand new office , a new training

facility , and new management

— a lot has been happening at

the local Emerson Climate

Technologies office .

The Emerson team is now based in the Longmeadow Business Estate East in Modderfontein , having moved from their previous offices in Linbro Business Park . They are led by Danie de Beer who is the regional manager sub-Saharan Africa . De Beer is no stranger to the industry and has been based overseas for the better part of the past decade , most recently in Dubai . Now he is back and ready to take the team to new heights .

The company has renewed its focus on training with a recently completed facility at its Johannesburg office . From August onwards , it will offer training on its Copeland semi-hermetic compressors as well as ZX condensing units and even electronics for supermarket applications . Training will take place at least once a month and will be very hands-on with a dedicated training manager .

De Beer is also hard at work growing his local team to help support projects . “ I am very proud of the team I currently have as it ’ s a very strong team — not just with sales capabilities , but also on a technical scale ,” he said .

The vision is to bring the wider Emerson range of products to the local market , not just as a supplier , but also as a total solutions provider . As an example , Emerson will be focusing on its industrial cooling business , particularly systems using CO 2 refrigerant . In the long term , the plan is to grow sales in the entire sub-Saharan Africa region .

“ Our plan is to grow our brand to be the leading cooling solution supplier in the region ,” explained De Beer . “ Our entire strategy has changed with the various divisions of Emerson working closer together to offer complete solutions to our customers .” A lot is happening so watch this space !
