Munters brings
over six decades
of innovation to
its partnership with
Aligned Energy
Munters has been developing innovative,
energy efficient climate control solutions
for over 60 years, and Data Center
cooling is a market segment that is
very active right now. DC President
Michael Gantert explains why as the
industry leader in energy efficient
climate control solutions, Munters
expertise in data center cooling helps
Aligned Energy meet growth demands
Munters has a long history in delivering innovative,
energy efficient climate control solutions. Started
in Sweden over 60 years ago, Munters has
deployed its technologies in a host of industries.
Munters Data Centers (DC) business, managed
by President Michael Gantert, is a key partner for
Aligned Energy. Munters has worked closely with
Aligned Energy to manufacture and advance the
development of their unique cooling solution.
Munters entered the data center cooling market
12 years ago and has developed a number of
cooling solutions that have been widely adopted
and are critical to the efficient operation of many
data centers.
When Aligned Energy got in touch to discuss a
partnership, it wasn’t to purchase an existing
solution, but rather to further develop their own
cooling solution and manufacture a product that
would reduce equipment lead time and cost, while
also improving reliability.
“For a data center company to come to us with
a pre-designed cooling solution and ask us to
manufacture it, while also making it better and
easier to install, that was a bit unique from what
we’ve experienced over the past 12 years.”
Michael Gantert,
Munters
“Aligned Energy recognized in Munters our history
of innovation, engineering expertise, and flexible
manufacturing capabilities. They saw those aspects
of Munters as key to support their growing business.
Our relationship is a true partnership. We share
a lot of information including technical engineering
details and manufacturing techniques for their
cooling solutions.”
“There has certainly been a lot of collaboration
between the two companies over the past few
years. They have a great cooling technology.
We have embraced that, and we really feel
Munters has provided value to Aligned Energy
by understanding the technology and continuing
to develop and enhance it for them.”
“We’ve worked very closely with Aligned Energy
and we’ve been provided selective visibility
into their pipeline, which allows us to plan and
prepare to best meet their needs. We continuously
assess equipment inventory and component stock
levels as well as things we can do within our
manufacturing footprint to shorten lead times
to support Aligned Energy’s growth.”
