“ Let ' s use blueberries as an example . After the blueberries are picked post-harvest , Engineering Solutions ( ES ) comes into play with its core business offering involving HVAC units and refrigeration equipment . The blueberries are then transported to the distribution centre ( DC ), and on the way our three coil products : OEM , catalogue and industrial coils – either in the vehicles for the journey to the DC or in the DC itself . Our multiplex refrigeration rack keeps the food cold in store through our RRC cabinets , and the cold-room through our catalogue coils , all while our HVAC units keep the customer cool . The consumer who walks into a store feels the impact of CAAS , our RRC cabinets and ES ’ s involvement in the execution of the project . Our products have a significant impact on the consumer experience .”
He noted that the company has recently expanded into the Middle East and the US . “ We opened our Middle East office in Silicon Oasis . It is not just another office , but a place where we have employed specialists , including a CEO , CFO , sales director , and engineering manager from the region . We are not only selling to the GCC countries but have bigger aspirations , including Turkey , Iran , India , Egypt , Ethiopia and Russia . We have a team already working in the region , which is part of our business plan to branch out .
“ In the US , the greater embrace of climate change gives us the opportunity to innovate and create a unique product . Our
CO 2 refrigeration solution is future-proof and already compliant with the new requirements that the US government will only introduce by 2025 . This has attracted early adopters , making it easy for them to replace their end-of-life products with our latest ones . We have a distribution agreement with partners in the US , Mexico , and Canada . A patent is pending .” RACA
