Datalec Precision Installations (DPI) – a provider of world-class data centre design, supply, build and managed services delivering seamless and integrated end-to-end solutions for data centre operators – has announced a significant milestone in its expansion plans.
A new manufacturing facility in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) marks its strong commitment to the region. The dedicated 51,000-square-foot facility will produce aisle containment and security caging to DPI’s exacting standards.
As part of DPI’s strategic growth, the business has further committed to the Middle East region by developing its regional team, investing and mirroring its European manufacturing capabilities in Dubai.
Fully operational by the end of summer 2024, the new facility will also serve as its regional head office, including a marketing suite and a training room.
“Sustainability was not just a consideration, but a key factor in our site selection,” said Sean Christie, Projects Director for Datalec in the Middle East. “The focus is on delivering manufactured products with an effort to reduce embodied carbon within the final products, demonstrating our commitment to environmental responsibility.”
The facility features a 450KW rooftop solar array, providing on-site renewable power. The building is strategically located near national air and sea freight infrastructure to improve project delivery lead times and reduce transportation emissions.
Most supply chain materials are also sourced locally within a 20-kilometre radius. DPI plans further investment in an in-house powder coating facility to replicate the arrangement in the company’s UK headquarters.
