Global Insulation Logistics (GIL) Ltd together with insulated panel manufacturer, Eurobond, today signed an exclusive 10 year partnership agreement with Techxact, the leading consultancy and developer of data centres in the Middle East and North Africa. This marks a major development in GIL’s presence in the region and together they will jointly market and sell their products and services in data centre construction.

Mehdi Paryaui President of TechXact commented: “We first met the directors of GIL at a data centre strategies conference in Abi Dabi last June and we were very impressed with the company’s ethos and heritage in providing data centre solutions. While we looked at other companies, nobody really came close or had the kind of fire rated composite technology for insulated construction we desperately needed and we instantly saw the benefits of the Eurobond panels and GIL’s unique approach.”

TechXact markets a state-of-the-art, fire prevention systems which rely on pumping gas into ‘sealed’ rooms. However, to construct truly airtight sealed rooms is very difficult to achieve. With traditional building methods there is always some leakage which compromises the fire prevention properties. GIL’s insulated construction system provides the appropriate containment for them to apply their fire resistant system.

Greg Hodge, founder and director of Global Insulation Logistics said: “We have become very aware that there is a growing data centre market in the Middle East and Africa and we have been determined to make our mark in this region. Working with TechXact gives us the opportunity to not only partner with one of the best data centre construction companies in the Middle East, but also to have access to their premium contacts and experience in the region. As most UK companies are well aware of, this region is typically well known for its challenges, so working with TechXact presents us with a valuable and unique opportunity to penetrate this market effectively. It also strengthens our network of partners across EMEA and Asia”

Eurobond, manufacturer of composite insulated panels, is the co-signatory on this agreement as GIL’s main supplier. Simon Thomas Managing director of Eurobond explained: “We have been keen to exploit opportunities in this region for sometime, but lacked the experience in both data centre construction and dealing in the Middle East. Being included as a key partner into this agreement allows Eurobond to take advantage of GIL’s international experience.”

GIL recently participated in TechXact’s key event by attending the Data Centre Tops conference in January in Abu Dabi where over 300 major VIP decision makers attended.
