Munters' business area Data Center Technologies specialises in advanced climate cooling solutions using a wide range of heat rejection technologies. As a supplier, with an extensive application knowledge, Munters create sustainable climate solutions for data centre operators worldwide.

It offers efficient and sustainable solutions for customers in industries where controlling temperature and humidity is mission critical. Its solutions reduce customers’ climate and environmental impact through efficient resource consumption.
