SamAC_Open_058news

SamAC_Open_157UK: Samsung has officially opened its new dedicated European air conditioning technical centre in Chertsey.

The new centre is just a couple of miles across town from its former site, opened four years ago, at Samsung’s European headquarters building in Chertsey, Surrey. It was officially opened last week by Mandy Pilgrim, md of Samsung distributor HRP.

Like the former European Technical Centre offers training and installation support for the full range of Samsung air conditioning products and systems. In addition there is a separate heat pump area and presentation/training centre.

The new centre, which is supplemented by Samsung’s other training establishment in Mansfield, can also be used as a practical customer demonstration facility.
