RIYADH: Saudi heating, ventilation, and air conditioning professionals can now enhance their skills thanks to Rheem Middle East unveiling its largest innovation and learning center in the Kingdom. According to a press statement, the Atlanta-based HVAC firm has opened this facility in Riyadh to accelerate its growth in the region. The center is equipped with advanced technology to host a diverse range of training sessions, conferences, and workshops. The new ILC is the second of its kind in the region, with an additional center already operating in the UAE. “This latest ILC represents a strategic investment in the future of the regional HVAC and water heating industry, reflecting our dedication to education, innovation, and quality,” said Brian Hempenstal, vice president and general manager of Rheem Middle East. He added: “More than just a training hub; it’s a testament to the collaborative spirit and forward-thinking approach that defines Rheem. This achievement reinforces our commitment to being at the forefront of our sector, and we are confident that the Riyadh ILC will be a catalyst for positive change, setting new standards for education and professional development in the field.” HVAC professionals can make use of the ILC as it will house classrooms featuring live audio and video streaming, as well as a roundtable room for open discussions, and a product showroom. Earlier this month, Dubai-based consultancy firm Carter Hones Associates also announced the opening of its new office in Riyadh. Through the new office, the firm wants to enhance collaboration with local businesses and develop partnerships with Saudi companies. Moreover, several international firms including multinational giants like Google, Amazon, and Microsoft had procured licenses to open their regional headquarters in Saudi Arabia before the stipulated government deadline on Jan. 1. Government data shows that over 200 international firms produced licenses to establish their regional headquarters in Saudi Arabia after the government announced last year that it will stop awarding contracts to international companies that did not accredit Riyadh as its regional hub before the end of 2023.
