Zamil Air Conditioners (ZAC), a leading manufacturer of air-conditioning systems, has won two new contracts worth a total of SR40 million ($11 million) to upgrade air-conditioning systems in schools and prisons across the kingdom.

The scope of work for the first SR11 million contract, awarded by the Ministry of Interior, includes the manufacture, supply and installation of a total of 11 modular package units, 3,000 room air-conditioning units and 535 mini split units in 38 prisons around the country. The  contract, to be completed in 10 months, will require Zamil CoolCare, the service arm of ZAC, to oversee the installation of the air-conditioning units and provide support service and maintenance to the prisons on completion of the project.
The second contract, valued at SR28.5 million from the Ministry  of Education, encompasses the delivery of 8,544 mini split wall-mounted units to a number of girls’ schools around the Kingdom.
This is the second contract awarded by the Ministry of Education and follows on the heels of the first contract awarded early last year. The scope of work continues with the second phase of a major government initiative aimed at expanding the schooling infrastructure and improving existing facilities in the kingdom.
“The signing of these two new contracts further strengthens our project portfolio, adding to it yet another dynamic angle,” says Osama Bunyan, executive vice president, ZAC.
