Mitsubishi Electric introduced a new air-conditioning product line-up at its Milan-based headquarters to its top European and Mediterranean partners. Panta Lesco’s general manager Reuben Portanier and Daniel Mifsud from the technical sales team were invited by Mitsubishi Electric to the preview prior to the launch on Maltese market.

Most of the new Mitsubishi Electric products will be available this year and some will be launched in 2015. Focus was placed on Mitsubishi Electric’s premium quality at competitive prices, while also introducing further customer value, especially on energy efficiency, with new air-conditioning systems, heating systems, dehumidifiers and jet towels.

During the visit, Mr Portanier held talks with Mitsubishi’s top executives Andrea Veronese and Stefano Malagò to secure the 2014 and 2015 high-performing Mitsubishi ranges.

A plan which will see Panta Lesco launch and roll out Mitsubishi’s new technology for remote management of air-conditioning systems was also agreed. This will be done using Mitsubishi’s propriety cloud-based solutions that can be managed by the user through Mitsubishi’s apps. The applications can run on both Android and IOS smartphones as well as tablets and PCs.

Mr Portanier said Panta Lesco’s refreshed outlook on new technologies coincided perfectly with Mitsubishi’s new line-up and the company would be working closely with the Milan headquarters to introduce Mitsubishi’s web-based and app-based MRI and MELCloud solutions for air-conditioning systems.

Mr Veronese said Panta Lesco was one of the longest standing Mitsubishi Electric partners across Europe, so “we will continue to provide it with additional engineering and technology support for years to come”.

Panta Lesco, through its subsidiary Panta Marketing and Services Ltd, is the exclusive distributor of Mitsubishi in Malta.
