Germany hosts the EU’s largest consumer market and serves as a front-runner for R&D and innovation in Europe’s HVACR sector. Driven by low-carbon policies, the EU keeps tightening its F-Gas regulations, fueling rising market demand for high-efficiency heat pumps and refrigeration equipment with low environmental impact. Benefiting from its complete industrial chain, Chinese HVACR equipment is gaining growing recognition across Europe. There is enormous growth potential for trade cooperation between the Chinese and European HVAC industries.

On 15 October local time, CHILLVENTA 2026 – the International Exhibition for Refrigeration, Air Conditioning, Ventilation and Heat Pumps – concluded successfully at the Nürnberg Messe. This world-renowned specialized exhibition serves as a key platform for global enterprises to launch new products and technologies, connect with European buyers and expand their overseas footprint.

The exhibition gathered more than 1,100 exhibitors from 50 countries and regions worldwide. Top international brands including Johnson Controls, Danfoss, Bosch, Panasonic, HITACHI, LG, SIEMENS, ebm-papst, ZIEHL-ABEGG, Tecumseh, A-GAS, Rosenberg, COOL-FIT, Incold and Temprite made appearances. Meanwhile, over 180 Chinese enterprises such as Midea, Sanhua, Fusheng, Snowman, PHNIX and Donper also took part, showcasing innovative achievements of domestic refrigeration equipment to overseas markets.

This Nuremberg trip marks the 28th stop of RACC’s global promotion tour. The Organizing Committee led more than 30 Chinese HVACR enterprises, including Xinlei, Shenshi, Beifeng, Elitech, Meluck and Daming Refrigeration, to Germany, enabling them to engage closely with local European buyer communities.

During the exhibition, the RACC team moved across all halls and held in-depth exchanges with overseas manufacturers, buyers and industry practitioners. We focused on promoting RACC’s two flagship international shows: RACC 2026, to be held at Hangzhou Grand Convention & Exhibition Center from October 22 to 24, and RACC ASEAN in Bangkok, Thailand, scheduled for July 14–16, 2027. The team introduced the full industrial chain support, booth recruitment progress and exclusive VIP business matching services for international buyers. We invited overseas purchasers to attend the shows and hold on-site negotiations with Chinese manufacturers. Many European buyers enquired about visiting China for the exhibition and expressed their interest in cooperating on Chinese HVACR products.
