FRIGAIR Expo, the most successful expo ever held for the
Heating, Energy, Refrigeration, Air Conditioning and Ventilation
industry. For the FRIGAIR 2021 expo we have taken cognisance
of industry expectations as well as lessons learned from previous
expos. As SAIRAC we have had, of late, considerable interaction
with our international counterparts and have had exposure to
the latest trends in industry. SAIRAC and its members are at the
forefront with regards to the development and utilisation of new
technologies and strategies. In addition, our industry is currently
undergoing considerable evolutionary change which makes for
exciting times.
“There is a planned increase in the scope and size of the
FRIGAIR conference as well as participation by ASHRAE. Thus, the
stage is set, the 2021 FRIGAIR expo promises again to raise the
bar, exceed expectations and be the ‘must-attend’ event on the
HERVAC calendar.
“In fact, I am tempted to say: can you afford not to be there?”,
he says.
“The FRIGAIR expo remains
without doubt the premier
event of its kind on the
African Calendar. The
FRIGAIR expo offers the best
platform available to connect
with industry and clients,
form new friendships and
rekindle old ones, view the
latest trends and technologies
and to showcase our latest

products and services. ACRA will be exhibiting the latest trends
in training and assessment including the apprenticeship and
adult training available against the new qualifications as well
as the latest trade testing processes and procedures. We will
be offering career guidance and advice to persons currently in
our industry as well as to new entrants. The 2018 show, from
our perspective was the best expo of its kind held in South
Africa thus far, drawing visitors and exhibitors from both local
and international parties. We look forward to interacting with
industry, visitors and exhibitors allowing ACRA a platform to
showcase training development, the training available against
the latest air conditioning and refrigeration qualifications for
apprenticeships and adult courses. Exposure to the latest trends
and technologies further enable ACRA to keep training current
and valid.” Grant Laidlaw (ACRA).
“We found that our exposure from FRIGAIR 2018 was extremely
beneficial. We managed to secure some very lucrative orders
from leads generated directly from the expo. What we will be
exhibiting will be a surprise but what I can say is that we have
some new, very advanced technology that focuses on energy and
water saving to an even greater extent than before. FRIGAIR 2018
was a very well-organised expo, that attracted all the relevant
industry professionals. We look forward to showcasing as well
as viewing all the latest technology in the industry.” Garid Glenn
(Baltimore Aircoil Company).
