Abrava creates area specialized in automotive and agricultural air conditioning

Brazil. ABRAVA (Brazilian Association of Refrigeration, Air Conditioning, Ventilation, Heating) announced the expansion of its scope of action by creating the National Department of Automotive and Agricultural Air Conditioning.

The objective of the group is to fill a gap for the sector in Brazil with a focus on standardization, market data, taxation, labor training, quality and guarantee of parts and services, among other issues to be discussed by professionals acting in this market.

According to the first president-elect for the management of the National Department, Sérgio Eugênio, mechanical engineer and director of the Super Air, "It is a satisfaction to be in ABRAVA. No one better could give us this support and infrastructure, with all their know-how to do this, bringing benefits to small, medium and large companies in the sector. We could not be left without representativeness in the national market, where all the major players in the system operate with a factory in Brazil. Not to mention the enormous number of workshops and specialized technical centers in the country, where it lacks specialized technical information for the maintenance and conservation of equipment."

The first management of the Department was in charge of Sérgio Eugênio Silva as president and Carlos D.Mioraes, Flavio L.Vasconcelos, Jonathan Dumke, Marco A.Peruccido and the vice president of Environment of ABRAVA, Paulo Neulaender, as members of its board.
