Blue Star International, a subsidiary of air-conditioning and commercial refrigeration major Blue Star in Dubai, has partnered with Sands International as the official distributor in Saudi Arabia for its Unitary Products range.  

The present room air-conditioner market in Saudi Arabia is estimated at 3.3 million units, with an annual growth of 12 per cent per annum. Saudi Arabia, with its largest market share in the GCC region, is a promising market for the company’s heating, ventilation, air-conditioning and refrigeration (HVAC&R)segment.

Blue Star, along with Sands International, is offering a wide range of eco-friendly and energy-efficient room air-conditioners (split and window) catering to every related requirement in the residential and commercial space in Saudi Arabia.

Besides, the company is also launching its wide array of water cooling solutions comprising bottle water dispensers, storage water coolers and water tank chillers. This comprehensive range of water cooling solutions primarily cater to the requirements of the commercial sector, with a special focus on commercial, healthcare, residential, education and hospitality segments.

Blue Star has put in place a dedicated team of professionals in the Saudi market, to support the local sales team. Several customised collaterals and advertising campaigns are being designed to build the Blue Star brand in this market.
