For the second time, our association has collaborated with ISH China & CIHE to send a delegation to the show. This year, we invited chief engineers from design institutes across the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, Heilongjiang, Jilin, Liaoning and Shanxi provinces, as well as various northern regions to participate in the exhibition and accompanying forums. The event hosted a number of companies who are leading the way in clean, low-carbon and renewable energy technologies – including heat pump technologies, all in line with China’s dual carbon goals. It has also highlighted some innovative concepts and emerging trends pertinent to the ongoing energy revolution. Next year, we hope to organise an even larger delegation.

Our company specialises in heat pumps, electrical water heaters and gas water heaters. We have come to the fair looking for new suppliers and partnership opportunities in China’s vast HVAC market. I’ve already approached several exhibitors for product quotations, and I’m excited about the prospect of securing some deals with them. I’ve been to many HVAC shows in China, but this one has really impressed me in terms of the quality of participants and product displays. The way the product categories are organised makes it convenient to navigate the exhibition halls and find my targeted exhibitors.

The iHVAC congress was a great opportunity for me to share the strides that Finland has made in the energy sector, particularly in the area of decarbonisation. I must say, the reception was fantastic – the audience was really engaged and asked insightful follow-up questions post-presentation. It’s clear that this topic is especially relevant in China right now, with the government targeting their carbon peak before 2030 and rapidly driving down emissions after that. So, the information I provided seemed especially pertinent. These seminars allow us to not only showcase our successes, but also to explore the processes and technologies that have enabled our decarbonisation progress. It has been invaluable collaborating with local experts before and after the summit, exchanging views on pressing issues related to this transition.

ISH China & CIHE offers us an all-in-one platform to showcase our latest products and solutions. We have participated for many years, and this fair has allowed us to connect with many high-calibre customers. Not only can we debut our newly released offerings, but we can also observe the new technologies on offer from other brands, facilitating an efficient exchange of information. This year we met a lot of distributors and end-users, along with a considerable international crowd. I sensed great interest in our products geared towards both the domestic and global markets. In addition to bringing us new customers, the exhibition provided an excellent avenue for promoting heat pump technologies.

Vaillant has been exhibiting at the show for more than 15 years and we specialise in gas heating. Our company repeatedly returns to ISH China & CIHE because this is the most important HVAC show in Asia. Through the show, we are able to see the growth and potential of the future of the heating industry in China.

We have been a part of ISH China & CIHE for two decades, and have always considered it to be a benchmark event for the industry. It gives us the chance to directly connect with HVAC industry professionals, deepen our connections with existing business partners, and explore future market trends. This year’s high turnout, especially from our targeted customer segments, made our participation especially rewarding. Building on the trust we have gained here, we are now readily preparing for ISH in Germany, and will continue to support ISH China & CIHE in the years to come.
