COOLING specialists Airedale International have signed a contract with CyrusOne, the global real estate investment trust (REIT).

The contract will see Rawdon-based Airedale supply cooling solutions for upcoming data centre projects in Europe, including Amsterdam and Dublin.

The equipment will be manufactured at Airedale’s state-of-the art production facility.

Tony Cole, managing director at Airedale, said: “We’re proud to announce this significant contract award as not only does it cement Airedale’s reputation for supplying precision air conditioning equipment into high-tech industries, but it also showcases British manufacturing at its best in a tough economic climate.

"We are investing in our production facilities as a result of these projects, and there is a real buzz around the place as we look forward to producing the units.”
