Dedicated to the HVAC market in Eastern and Central China, the fifth edition of ISH Shanghai & CIHE – Shanghai International Trade Fair for Heating, Ventilation & Air-Conditioning was successfully held from 31 August – 2 September 2016 in Hall W1 of the Shanghai New International Expo Centre (SNIEC). The show was jointly organised by Messe Frankfurt (Shanghai) Co Ltd, Beijing B&D Tiger Exhibition Co Ltd, Shanghai Zhanye Exhibition Co Ltd and the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade (CCPIT) – Shanghai Pudong Sub-Council.
     Mr Richard Li, General Manager of Messe Frankfurt (Shanghai) Co Ltd, expressed: “After five years of development, ISH Shanghai & CIHE has become a sophisticated fair that attracted 16,527 visitors (2015: 15,726, +5%) and hosted 192 exhibitors this year. Among those exhibitors were companies from the popular European Pavilion and the new Premium Brand Zone. Exhibitors commended the visitor quality while buyers appreciated what they found onsite. In addition, the concurrent events were well-received and generated so much interest that many sessions were crowded with standing attendees. This strong attendance demonstrates that there is great market potential and the show is a proven annual professional trade platform for the HVAC market in Eastern and Central China.”
     The informative concurrent programme was one of the show highlights, providing the latest market intelligence and ample networking opportunities. Speakers and attendees agreed that the heating market in Eastern and Central China has huge potential. As such, air-source heat pump technologies and home comfort were the focal points of the programme.
     The next ISH Shanghai & CIHE will be held from 5 – 7 September 2017 at Shanghai New International Expo Centre.
