DuPont Refrigerants Enables Seizure of Illegal Refrigerant in UAE; More Than 3,000 Counterfeit Refrigerant Cylinders Seized

摘要

WILMINGTON, DE - DuPont Refrigerants worked with law enforcement in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), playing an instrumental role in a significant seizure of counterfeit DuPont SUVA refrigerants in Sharjah. DuPont became aware of the counterfeit refrigerant goods sold and stored by Sunrise, a refrigerant trader, through a preventive program of the Dubai Department of Economic Development (DDED). DuPont learned that the trader stored his goods in the neighboring emirate of Sharjah. Inspectors from the Sharjah Department of Economic Development (SDED) alerted a DuPont representative in the UAE of a third-party complaint filed against Sunrise Air Conditioning Spare Parts Trading Co., Ltd. As a result of this complaint, DuPont and the SDED worked jointly to determine if the refrigerants being stored by the trader and bearing the DuPont brand name were genuine DuPont refrigerant products.
