International. This year's Chillventa fair, held from October 16 to 18, in Nuremberg, Germany, has been rated as the largest in its history.
The show received a total of 35,490 visitors from 125 countries, in addition to a further increase in both exhibition space (+2%) and the number of exhibitors (+4%).
"Chillventa has grown impressively and rapidly," says Daniela Heinkel, Director of the Chillventa Exhibition, NürnbergMesse. "With six events in ten years, it has achieved a milestone this year and broken the barrier of 1,000 exhibitors for the first time in its history. For the first time, 1,019 exhibiting companies from 45 countries are represented at the Nuremberg trade fairgrounds, which covers all aspects of refrigeration, air conditioning, ventilation and heat pump technology. This is a pleasant development, as it once again clearly shows the value of Chillventa to the international community. There has also been a two percent increase in exhibition space. That is a very good result, building on an already strong starting position, and a clear sign that Chillventa has established itself as the international focal point for the refrigeration industry."
International growth
Chillventa's international role was also reflected in the international pavilions, which hosted presentations from a total of six countries. In addition to South Korea, Thailand, the Czech Republic, Turkey and the United States, China is represented in three pavilions.
"The international origin of Chillventa's exhibitors and visitors reflects its global reach," observes Richard Krowoza, member of the Board of Management of NürnbergMesse. "About two-thirds of exhibitors and 60 percent of the 35,000 trade visitors come from outside Germany. This emphasizes how important Chillventa is to the industry in the German-speaking world and beyond."
The fair has already confirmed that for the year 2020 it will be held from October 13 to 15.
