Panasonic has opened new UK premises, dedicated to the HVACR+ market, which includes its largest UK training centre, kitted out with fully functioning units for hands-on experience.

Panasonic’s heating, cooling and refrigeration staff attended an opening ceremony on 6 May, where Panasonic Enrique Vilamitjana, managing director of Panasonic Heating & Cooling Solutions Europe, officially declared the premises in Welwyn Garden City open.

Jose Manuel Alves, UK country manager for Panasonic commented: “We are thrilled with our new dedicated HVAC&R+ modern premises, intelligently designed to provide an advanced technological space for the needs of both our heating and cooling teams. In addition to providing our customers with full access to our technical resources, including the in-house spec team expertise and software, technical support, design software tools and smart cloud service solutions, we will be providing training courses and a valuable location for meetings.”

The team will continue to provide exceptional technical support and customer service to distributors, consultants, installers and end-users of Panasonic’s wide range of solutions for heating, cooling, refrigeration and ventilation. The new premises follows the recent announcement of the amalgamation of Panasonic and AMP and the formation of the new UK HVAC&R+ company, PHVAC Ltd (Panasonic Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning Ltd).

The new premises shows Panasonic’s long-term commitment to the UK market and to advancing in the heating and cooling sector, which will remain at the forefront as the teams work closely together, to deliver a world-class service, solution and training for the heating and cooling sector.
