Blue Star opens showroom in Dubai

UAE: Blue Star, India’s leading air conditioning and refrigeration company, has established a new office and its first state-of-the-art flagship showroom in Dubai.

Blue Star claims a long history in the Middle East. Its first forays into the region began in the 1950s with the exports of water coolers to Kuwait. Today, Blue Star serves several Middle Eastern markets with air conditioning equipment, water coolers, and commercial refrigeration products and systems.

The new office and showroom are located in a central and prominent locality on the Airport Road in Dubai, with close proximity to important business centres and travel hubs.

The Middle East is seen as a promising market for Blue Star, with its growing hospitality sector, rise in construction activities across residential and commercial sectors, and extreme weather conditions.
