“The second edition of Chillventa Rossija has more than lived up to our expectations.

The conclusion of the exhibiting companies, which covered the entire product spectrum of refrigeration, air conditioning, ventilation and heat pumps for commercial and industrial applications, is excellent: 98 per cent rate their participation in the exhibition as a success. The date of the next Chillventa Rossija has already been fixed and the industry meets again in the Crocus Expo International Exhibition Center in Moscow from 5–7 February 2013.

“We are very satisfied with the outcome of the exhibition. We are pleased with the outstanding commitment of the exhibitors and the positive feedback from the visitors, which shows that our technical orientation of the exhibition is right. The good mood on both sides is the result of the accuracy with which Chillventa Rossija brings together supply and demand in the Russian market. Here the exhibitors meet their target groups. The visitors find a spectrum of products at Chillventa Rossija in a focused and comprehensive form that is not to be found anywhere else in Russia,” explains Venjakob. The manufacturers presented components, products and systems with improved technology for increased energy efficiency in all product segments. In the Heat Pump Pavilion, Chillventa Rossija 2012 concentrated the pioneering heat pump technology for which experts expect appreciable market growth in Russia too.
