shown by the Rittal company during a state visit this week.

oth the corporation’s new
“Blue e+” generation of
cooling units - which set
new standards for energy
efficiency - and its ongoing investment
in young trainees impressed the
President and Chancellor Merkel on the
opening day of the Hannover Messe
2016. The USA was selected as this
year’s partner country for the Hanover
expo, which is now the world’s leading
trade fair for industrial technology.
Chancellor Merkel, meanwhile,
appeared particularly enthused by the
Friedhelm Loh Group’s commitment to
training young, up-and- coming, talent
and she also spoke warmly of Rittal’s
determination to integrate refugees
into its regular training programme – a
first in Germany.
Rittal currently equips some of the
largest data centres in the world.
“We are Europe’s number one provider
of engineering software, and we want
to keep on growing,” says owner
and CEO Dr. Friedhelm Loh, who
also highlighted to both leaders the
importance of software and data in
future industrial production.
The US President showed considerable
interest in the new Blue e+ cooling
unit, commenting at one point; “This is
a fine company!”
