UAE: Sharjah-based SKM Air Conditioning, one of the Gulf region’s leading air conditioning manufacturers has joined the Eurovent Middle East association.

Ammar Abdulateef Abdulhameed, QHSE & lab director at SKM said the company fully supported Eurovent Middle East’s aim to improve standards and legislation. “As a truly local manufacturer, SKM has always acknowledged its wider responsibility towards society.
