Daikin signs cooling rental deal in Middle East

UAE: Daikin has formed a “strategic” partnership with Al Shola, a leading construction equipment rental company based in Dubai.

Al Shola’s services cover the rental of a wide range of temporary cooling equipment, including air-cooled chillers, air handling units and packaged air conditioning.  

The partnership will offer end-to-end solutions – from system supply to on-site installation and ongoing maintenance. 

Daikin sees rising demand for temporary cooling solutions in the Gulf region, driven by a surge in large-scale events, infrastructure developments, and growing needs across key sectors, including construction, energy, healthcare, and cultural events. 

“This partnership brings together two industry leaders with complementary strengths,” said Mohanad Al Mashaikh, head of solutions at Daikin UAE. “Daikin’s commitment to sustainable innovation, paired with Al Shola ’s local expertise and service reach, will enable us to deliver exceptional value to our customers.”

Formed in 1976, Al Shola is the leading UAE-based company specialised in the rental and leasing of power equipment, heavy equipment, vehicles, machinery, and temporary cooling services to various industries, including construction, oil and gas, EPC and government projects.

Its services are offered across the United Arab Emirates, Oman and Saudi Arabia.
