WE SPEAK TO EXHIBITORS AT FRIGAIR 2025
By Eamonn Ryan
With just over a year to go , the best stands in the 2025 offering of Frigair are rapidly being booked . As the HERVAC sector ’ s only dedicated event in Africa , it represents a not-to-be-missed opportunity to be seen among the elite of the industry . The HERVAC industry is known to produce the best outcomes when done through physical interaction , and such opportunities abound at FRIGAIR .
Since 1980 , FRIGAIR has been providing an industry-preferred platform for engagement on doing business , knowledge transfer and networking opportunities . The 2025 event will no doubt create excitement and stimulus for the entire heating , energy , refrigeration , ventilation and air-conditioning ( HERVAC ) industries .
It is one of the South African Institute for Refrigeration and Air Conditioning ’ s ( SAIRAC ) premier events , as well as the largest dedicated HERVAC trade exhibition in Africa . FRIGAIR 2025 will feature an exhibition , workshops and courses which are eagerly anticipated by the industry , if 2022 ’ s event is anything to go by . The exhibition and its line-up of several free-to-attend workshops and courses will once again take place at the Gallagher Convention Centre in Midrand , on 4 – 6 June 2025 .
A lot of progress in techniques and technology has occurred over recent years , driven primarily by solutions to aspects related to indoor air quality , as well as efficiency and the heightened drive to mitigate global warming and its effects – where the HERVAC sector plays a significant role in terms of energy and refrigerants .
SO MUCH ON OFFER FOR VISITORS , YOU CAN ’ T MISS OUT ! Some key reasons to visit will include :
• Sourcing cutting edge products and technologies .
• Learning opportunities from daily workshops and courses .
• Network with suppliers and service providers .
• Engage with 100 + knowledgeable exhibitors .
• Experience live demos .
• Discover new products and solutions .
“ In this market , one needs to think differently . This is a small and changing market , so companies need to think out of the box . We can ' t be following the same channel , the same communication strategies and same marketing strategies that we ' ve always done . That ’ s why we participate not just in FRIGAIR , but construction , leisure and hospitality shows .
“ Our experience of FRIGAIR has only ever been positive – but it is confined to the air conditioning and the refrigeration space . And so we attend other industry exhibitions in order to speak to different types of people .”
Events such as FRIGAIR are typically ideal for promoting new products . Samsung is currently promoting the fourth generation Samsung DVM S2 WindFree which has just been launched . It has many energy saving characteristics and is aimed at commercial buildings .
