As food and beverage manufacturers across the Middle East and Africa expand
production and strengthen supply-chain resilience, Johnson Controls will demonstrate
how integrated industrial refrigeration, high-temperature heat pumps and connected
controls can help reduce energy use, improve uptime and support lower-carbon process
heating at Gulfood Manufacturing 2026.
Johnson Controls (NYSE: JCI), a global leader in thermal management, mission-critical
building systems, energy efficiency, and decarbonization, will showcase its Industrial
Refrigeration & Heating (IREF) portfolio at Gulfood Manufacturing 2026, a leading
regional platform bringing together the food and beverage manufacturing ecosystem.
At the event, Johnson Controls will showcase the full value proposition of its Industrial
Refrigeration & Heating portfolio for food and beverage manufacturing, dairy, cold storage
and applications. Highlights will include its newly launched Sabroe HitemHP high
temperature heat pump, capable of delivering up to 122°C process heat and up to three
times the energy efficiency of electric boilers, helping manufacturers lower costs and
accelerate decarbonization efforts, the UNISAB Controller, and the expanded capabilities
of OpenBlue Industrial Refrigeration (OBIR).
Johnson Controls will also convene technical discussions on designing efficient
refrigeration and process-heating systems for food manufacturing projects in the UAE
and Saudi Arabia.
