Midge Pan, Subzero APAC General Manager is interviewed
Building Tomorrow’s Leaders Today
In this in-depth interview, Midge Pan, General Manager for Subzero Engineering APAC, explains how Subzero is redefining data center performance across one of the world’s fastest-growing digital infrastructure regions. From hybrid cooling innovations to rapid modular deployment, this video highlights the strategy behind Subzero Engineering’s Vietnam facility and APAC-wide expansion.
This video gives a clear look at how Subzero Engineering is solving next-generation cooling, sustainability, and speed-to-deployment challenges across Asia Pacific—while setting new global standards for reliability and efficiency.
In this video you will learn:
- How Subzero Engineering solves complex APAC data center challenges
- Solving root problems—not symptoms—through deep customer embedding
- Modular designs that deploy in weeks, not months
- Instant global knowledge-sharing: a solution proven in Singapore benefits Sydney immediately
- R&D that anticipates AI and edge-driven workloads before the market demands them
- Why Vietnam is central to Subzero’s APAC strategy
- APAC manufacturing anchor enabling up to 50% faster lead times
- Central access to Japan, ASEAN, and Australia
- Growing regional tech talent and strong export/trade positioning
- Tight integration with the Singapore sales and service hub
- Engineering excellence with local adaptation
- Global standards, engineered locally for APAC’s varied climates
- Systems designed for humidity, dust, heat, and rapid deployment
- Smart customization with standardized components delivers up to 40% faster installation
- Flexible containment systems adapted to local regulations and energy grids
- What’s driving the next era of APAC data centers
- AI density: Hybrid cooling already deployed while others still catch up
- Sustainability mandates: Containment delivering ~30% energy reduction
- Edge expansion: New markets requiring faster, compact, modular solutions
- How Subzero measures what matters to customers
