Stulz Hosts Sixth Oktoberfest in Mexico City, Focusing on Sustainable Data Center Solutions
Mexico City, [Date] – Stulz, the renowned German air conditioning solutions provider, celebrated the sixth edition of its Oktoberfest event in Mexico City, uniting key players from the data center, mission-critical infrastructure, IT, and technology sectors. The gathering highlighted the increasing international demand for data centers and underscored the necessity for Mexico to adopt sustainable practices to maintain its competitive edge.
Opening the event, Axel Schneider, Stulz’s President for Spain and Latin America, emphasized the pivotal role of the data center sector in Mexico’s ongoing development. “Mexico and Latin America are experiencing a technology boom. Despite temporary caution, the long-term trajectory for data centers and mission-critical infrastructure is strong,” Schneider stated.
Schneider further elaborated on the significance of Oktoberfest 2025, noting, “Events like Oktoberfest allow us to strengthen partnerships, integrate solutions, and support growth across the region.” He mentioned Stulz’s plans to expand distribution across Mexico, Panama, Colombia, and Peru, enhancing their market presence while providing integrated cooling and mission-critical solutions.
Emigdio Granillo, Managing Director for Stulz Mexico, echoed Schneider’s sentiments, highlighting the event’s purpose: “to bring together the community, strengthen connections, and facilitate business opportunities.”
A Focus on Sustainability
With the resource-intensive nature of data processing and storage, sustainability emerged as a central theme among industry leaders. Amidst shrinking U.S. investments due to trade uncertainties, executives emphasized the importance of renewable energy, water management, and energy-efficient infrastructure for growth and competitiveness.
“Investing in renewable energy and better water management is crucial for the expansion of Mexico’s data center and mission-critical infrastructure sector,” Granillo asserted, adding that sustainable practices are now essential for remaining competitive.
Adriana López, CEO of Charofil, highlighted the importance of minimizing environmental impact through innovative product design. “Our cable trays and components are optimized for solar and renewable applications, reducing carbon output. Sustainability starts in the design phase, and we continuously improve plant operations to ensure efficient energy use,” she explained.
The International Computer Room Expert Association (ICREA) stressed the need for technical guidance and knowledge sharing to enhance sustainability in Mexico’s data center sector. “Sustainability isn’t just about using less water or energy; it’s about applying resources efficiently,” said Carolina Cortés, CEO of ICREA. She advocated for a transition from oversized, inefficient facilities to modular designs that consider local conditions and resource availability.
Energy solution provider ABB, along with distributor ABSA Group, outlined initiatives aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions and enhancing energy efficiency. Luiz Carlos Garza, General Manager for ABSA Group, noted, “ABB is actively monitoring and reducing carbon footprints across all operations through innovative new software systems, while our solutions are specifically designed to promote sustainability.”
As the event concluded, it was clear that the future of Mexico’s data center sector hinges on collaboration, innovation, and a steadfast commitment to sustainability. The Oktoberfest event not only celebrated the industry’s achievements but also set the stage for a greener, more efficient future in technology.
