AHT Italy partners with Frost-trol

ITALY: AHT Italia, which recently integrated the commercial refrigeration sales activities of the Daikin Group in Italy, has signed an exclusive partnership with Spanish refrigerated cabinet manufacturer Frost-trol.

Earlier this month, changes to Daikin’s refrigeration business in Italy saw the refrigeration components of Daikin Air Conditioning Italy SpA, Zanotti SpA and AHT Italia being formed under the leadership of AHT Italia. 

AHT Italia is supported by an internal after-sales service department covering all Daikin’s refrigeration systems, AHT, Zanotti, Tewis and Hubbard.
