Apac

What Apac does

APAC is a Dutch precision-cooling and raised-floor infrastructure specialist headquartered in Utrecht, with 35+ years of operating history and 11-50 employees organized across APAC Airconditioning B.V. (equipment) and APAC Services B.V. (installation and 24/7 service). The company resells and installs Climaveneta (Mitsubishi Electric group) close-control air conditioning, free-cooling and adiabatic chillers, the EVIS indirect adiabatic system (claimed pPUE of 1.025), heat pumps, and raised flooring systems (~800 m² held in stock), wrapping the supplier's KIplink remote-control and ClimaPro optimization platform into delivered solutions. The customer base spans European datacenter operators (Digital Realty, euNetworks, Interxion, Previder), telecom infrastructure (Cellnex, Orange Business Services), research computing (Nikhef, Flemish Supercomputer Centre), construction and facilities management (ADP, Strukton, BAM Bouw en Techniek, Facilicom), and high-profile venues (Johan Cruijff ArenA), with delivery extending into Belgium and Denmark.

The technical offering centers on integrating Climaveneta HVAC hardware with raised-floor airflow management to deliver close-control environments for IT, telecom, archive, and laboratory spaces. ISO 14001 and VCA certifications support enterprise procurement gates, while 660 rooftop solar panels deliver energy-neutral operations; the 2025 Schneider Electric EcoXpert certification layers in access to Schneider's data-center channel and DCIM product set.

Revenue is generated through three streams: one-time equipment sales priced on a custom kW/m² basis for sizing installations, project-based installation services executed by in-house engineers, and recurring multi-year 24/7 maintenance and optimization contracts delivered through APAC Services. Go-to-market is sales-led B2B with direct enterprise engagement, supplemented by Schneider EcoXpert co-sell, sector events such as the Dutch Data Center Association Green Data Center Conference, and the firm's web presence. APAC does not disclose revenue.

Scale indicators5 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• Rittal GmbH & Co. KG: Rittal is a German manufacturer of enclosures, power distribution, and IT cooling solutions (including its Liquid Cooling Package for data centers), competing with APAC on both cooling hardware and broader data center infrastructure. Rittal's broader portfolio of racks, containment, and cooling overlaps significantly with APAC's Data Center Infrastructure and IT Cooling lines.
• Vertiv Holdings: Vertiv is a global provider of critical digital infrastructure including precision cooling, thermal management, and power for data centers, with Liebert-era product depth that competes head-to-head with APAC's chillers, CRAC units, and free-cooling systems. Vertiv's scale and global service network position it as a broad incumbent alternative for large enterprise and colocation customers APAC serves.
• Schneider Electric: Schneider Electric offers a comprehensive data center infrastructure portfolio including precision cooling, PDUs, and EcoStruxure monitoring, making it both a strategic partner (APAC is a 2025 EcoXpert certified partner) and an incumbent competitor. Customers evaluating end-to-end data center builds will frequently benchmark APAC's offerings against Schneider's bundled solutions.

Emerging players

• Submer: Submer is an emerging player specializing in immersion liquid cooling for hyperscale and high-density data centers, representing the disruptive cooling architecture that competes with APAC's precision air conditioning portfolio. While APAC is not yet visibly positioned in immersion, Submer's rise signals a long-term technology shift relevant to APAC's product roadmap.
• CoolIT Systems: CoolIT Systems is a Canadian-headquartered specialist in direct liquid-to-chip cold plate cooling for HPC, AI, and data center applications, providing a direct comparison point for the liquid cooling direction APAC's customer base is increasingly considering. CoolIT's emergence into mainstream AI server deployments (including with hyperscalers) signals the architectural shift APAC must respond to.
• Asetek: Asetek is a Danish-origin liquid cooling provider with both data center and gaming-PC product lines, competing in the same precision cooling and direct-to-chip cooling space that APAC's enterprise customers are adopting for high-density racks. Asetek's data center business expansion and rack-scale DLC deployments represent a competitive threat to traditional CRAC-based architectures.

Direct peers

• AFCO Systems: AFCO Systems is a US-based manufacturer of precision air conditioning and liquid cooling solutions for data centers, telecommunications, and industrial applications, with product ranges directly comparable to APAC's CRAC, chilled-water, and free-cooling units. AFCO and APAC compete for the same mission-critical cooling specifications, with AFCO bringing a North American-centric presence.
• STULZ GmbH: STULZ is a German manufacturer of precision air conditioning and cooling systems for data centers and IT rooms, producing CRAC units, chillers, and free-cooling systems in direct product overlap with APAC's Climaveneta-sourced portfolio. APAC and STULZ compete for the same mission-critical cooling specifications across European data center bids.
• Geist (a brand of Vertiv): Geist designs and manufactures data center cooling, power, and environmental monitoring products, with a portfolio of close-control cooling and CDU-style units adjacent to APAC's precision AC offering. Geist's cooling products target the same small-to-mid data center and server room customer segments that APAC serves with its w-AV and CRCC/CRCX product lines.

Regional players

• Minkels (Legrand): Minkels is a Dutch-based (now part of Legrand) manufacturer of data center cabinets, containment, and cooling solutions, sharing APAC's Benelux roots and customer base in the Dutch colocation market. Both companies serve Dutch data center operators and overlap on raised-floor-adjacent infrastructure and precision cooling for IT spaces.
