AHR EXPO 2026
The beginning of the year is traditionally reserved for the biggest global shifts in our industry, and our team started February in grand style. From February 2 to 4, 2026, we exhibited at the AHR Expo in the Las Vegas Convention Center – one of the world's largest and most important gathering places for the HVACR (heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and refrigeration) industry.
The sheer numbers confirm that the atmosphere in the entertainment capital was truly business-driven and professional: the exhibition attracted over 50,000 visitors and approximately 1,800 exhibitors from all over the world. Being part of such a powerful platform is an exceptional opportunity to strengthen our international partnerships and showcase the technological solutions we are proud of.
In the Spotlight: Sustainability and smart solutions
This year, the exhibition halls breathed with a single common goal – how to achieve maximum energy efficiency with minimal environmental impact. The market dynamics are incredible. A great deal of attention was focused on advanced heat pumps, system digitalization, and the integration of smart IoT solutions into building management.
Meetings with visitors and business partners at our booth confirmed that the industry is primarily looking for reliability, seamless control, and energy consumption optimization in commercial and industrial applications. And these are precisely the areas where our components and solutions deliver the highest value.
Looking ahead: When technology meets AI
The AHR Expo is not just an exhibition space, but also an invaluable source of professional expertise. Visitors and exhibitors alike agreed – the world is changing faster than ever, driven primarily by the exponential growth of artificial intelligence (AI).
This technological boom brings with it massive demands for data center cooling, where traditional systems are no longer sufficient. The industry is rapidly moving toward process liquid cooling, millisecond component responsiveness, and advanced PLC/SCADA control. Data centers are thus becoming true industrial complexes, opening up vast opportunities for innovation, technological flexibility, and uncompromising quality.
Thank You to everyone who visited us!
The three days in Las Vegas flew by, filled with countless inspiring conversations, handshakes, and new ideas for the future. We return home full of optimism and validation that the direction of our development goes hand in hand with the latest global trends.
Thank you to all our partners, both existing and new, who took the time to visit us at our exhibition space. See you next year!
