Jeddah, Saudi Arabia – April 2, 2026 — YORK®, the flagship brand of Johnson Controls Arabia, has unveiled the YORK Cooling Pod at Jeddah Corniche near the iconic Jeddah sign. Opened on Thursday, April 2 and running until June 1, the activation invites residents and visitors to step into a new, immersive experience of cooling comfort.
Having celebrated 150 years of global innovation and with a presence of more than 75 years in Saudi Arabia, YORK continues to shape how comfort is delivered across homes, cities, and critical infrastructure throughout the Kingdom.
Designed as a mobile and interactive cooling environment, the YORK Cooling Pod offers visitors an immediate sense of refreshment while showcasing the performance of YORK technologies engineered specifically for Saudi Arabia’s demanding climate.
