EVENTS AND EXHIBITIONS INCORPORATING COLD CHAIN Why should you exhibit at FRIGAIR? By Ilana Koegelenberg As exhibitors start signing up for the FRIGAIR 2021 expo, we ask them why they are returning for another year… F RIGAIR Expo takes place every three years and is organised in partnership with the South African Institute of Refrigeration and Air Conditioning (SAIRAC). Organised by Interact Media Defined and Specialised Exhibitions Montgomery, the show offers a world-class exhibition, unmatched in the local industry. The sold-out 2018 FRIGAIR Expo boasted 151 exhibitors, representing not only the local HEVAC&R market, but also leading international players. The expo was hugely successful and FRIGAIR exhibitors were given plenty of opportunity to engage with thousands of high-profile visitors. The 2021 FRIGAIR show will be taking place at the usual Gallagher Convention Centre venue in Midrand, Johannesburg from 9-11 June 2021 and some exhibitors have already signed up again. Hear from their own mouths why… “We have found that the FRIGAIR exhibition is the best way to bring new products into the market with the best and widest exposure over a short period of time.” 1 – Andrew Koeslag (AIAC) “Our main reason for exhibiting again is to introduce new insulated products and create awareness of best practices in the market. This includes looking at how to reduce our carbon footprint using ECO mate products from Resichem, and basically to stay in touch with the industry’s leading players. In today’s hectic pace there is never enough time to socialise and get input from various professionals in the different fields of our vast industry. That’s where FRIGAIR comes in.” – Marco Martinelli (Dalucon) 2 “Exhibiting at Frigair 2018 was a great opportunity for TecsaReco, not only to meet customers face-to-face, but also to allow us to solicit feedback to help our business expand and improve. The exhibition puts us at the centre of all the action, to display our innovations and developments and to connect with other key players in the field. We are happy to announce that we will also be at FRIGAIR 2021 to help strengthen our brand and position as a leader in the industry!” 3 – Matanti Hlakane (TecsaReco) “During last year’s show, we got to interact with old and new clients which was great way to inform them of the importance of the services that we provide to the HVAC industry. We received leads and enquiries from clients that had been wanting to contact us, but it had ‘slipped their minds’ in their busy lives. So once again, we will sign up for exactly the same reasons as listed above – to showcase our services and products and interact with clients, explaining the importance of healthy hygiene that is required indoors for HVAC systems.” – Chris Greenwood 4 (Concept Clean Africa) “We were very happy with last year’s FRIGAIR, specifically the platform it provided in highlighting the rise in CO 2 technology and the leading role that Bitzer is playing in this evolution in South Africa. We also were happy to see the number of manufacturers using Bitzer compressors in their equipment, and will certainly be signing up again for 2021.” 5 – Torsten Steinborn (Bitzer) “We will attend FRIGAIR again to present our company to the industry; display new products; as well as meet old and new customers.” – Ian Wilson (DDCS) 6 There are even new clients coming on board, such as FDTS… “FRIGAIR is a great opportunity to showcase our products and reach many potential clients in a short period of time.” – Francois du Toit (FDTS) DON’T MISS YOUR CHANCE!
