GERMANY: Heat exchanger product manufacturer, Güntner Group, has appointed Yan Evans as managing director of its global data centre business.  

Evans joins Güntner from the Fläkt Group, where he built and led Fläkt’s global data centre operations over the last eight years, latterly as director of data centre global accounts.
