ACR Latin America was present again at the event and visited the most outstanding companies in the Brazilian market that have interference in the Latin American region. There we highlight the focus of the fair on technologies for collection, recycling and regeneration of refrigerant fluids and the correct destination of cylinders and other inputs linked to the sector; a space called the Island of the Environment was also created, where good maintenance practices and equipment with sustainable technologies were presented.
In addition to the commercial exhibition, the fair had spaces such as Conbrava, which this year was held in parallel with the CIAR, an Ibero-American congress that brings together the entire region in a training space and that had the participation of important speakers from all over the world.
