Y our event organiser, Interact Media Defined, warmly welcomes you to FRIGAIR Expo 2018, Africa’s largest dedicated heating, energy, ventilation, air conditioning, and refrigeration (HEVAC&R) trade expo, brought to you in conjunction with Specialised Exhibitions Montgomery on behalf of the South African Institute of Refrigeration and Air Conditioning (SAIRAC). This year’s show promises to be a world-class, informative event! It is becoming ever more important to stay up to date with the latest industry trends and technologies, especially around the industry’s crucial role in the rapid development of eco-friendly, energy efficient, and sustainable technologies for the future. This relentless drive towards improved efficiency has led to significant innovation in the HEVAC&R sector, and FRIGAIR is an ideal platform to showcase these new technologies and products to industry. FRIGAIR is focused on addressing HEVAC&R solutions in mining, construction, food, packaging, storage, retail, manufacturing, and distribution. Whether it’s heating, cooling, air movement, or freezing, the science behind these technologies has a direct effect on the important areas of health, safety, and the environment. This show is offering all HEVAC&R industry participants the opportunity to experience the latest the market has to offer, and to interact with over 120 exhibitors. You can look forward to daily, live demonstrations and product launches, and engage directly with technical experts who are here to answer your questions around the latest technology and innovations. ASHRAE short courses are also being presented alongside the show. The American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) is the global HEVAC&R industry leader with more than 50 000 members worldwide. Their training courses are internationally recognised and of the highest calibre. This week, local professionals can also benefit from this wealth of global knowledge from the three international speakers who will present these quality courses. Another first for FRIGAIR 2018 is the not-to-be-missed speaker programme packed with industry experts from across the world.
