Blue Star embarks on expansion drive for market share

Air conditioning and commercial refrigeration major Blue Star Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary in Dubai, Blue Star International FZCO, has embarked on an aggressive expansion drive for bigger market share in Western African market. The Company, with its comprehensive range of air conditioning and refrigeration products, had commenced operations in Nigeria in association with its local distribution partner, Merald Technology Solutions Nigeria Ltd, in 2017, and now intends to rapidly expand its business in the Nigerian market. “

Blue Star takes immense pride in being associated with Merald Technology Solutions, a leading player in Nigeria with a strong base in providing engineering services and facility management solutions.

“We are confident that with Blue Star’s products that are backed by robust R&D and world-class manufacturing and Merald Technology’s well entrenched network in this region, we will be able to build on and consolidate our presence in this region,” said Dawood Bin Ozair, CEO, Blue Star International FZCO, at a technical seminar held recently in Lagos to promote its offerings.

Ozair opined that the company has adopted zero Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP) refrigerant HFC R410A as replacement to HCFC R22 which is in the phase-out list of The Montreal Protocol. “Considering that HFC refrigerants have high global warming potential, the Company has proactively taken steps to adopt natural refrigerant HC R290 after careful evaluation of safety in certain products,” Ozair disclosed.
