ACREX India, South Asia’s leading trade fair on Refrigeration & Cold Chain, Air Conditioning, Ventilation & Intelligent Buildings will open its doors for the 18th time from 23 to 25 February 2017.

It has been an endeavour of ISHRAE to bring HVAC&R industry into the forefront and make ACREX India the most coveted event for the built environment. Therefore ISHRAE has formulated a Build Fair Alliance (BFA) this year, with five independent shows catering to the various segments of the Building Construction industry. BFA will bring different players of the construction industry under this umbrella and thus offer all stakeholders of the industry an opportunity to acquaint themselves with the latest technology in the field.

“With every edition, ACREX India is becoming grander than before – offering more opportunities for stakeholders across the industry. Build Fair Alliance is an initiative to bring five strengths of the Built Industry under one roof,” says Sonia Prashar, Managing Director, Nuernberg Messe India

“India is currently one of the favourites of the major international players. The world views our country as an engine for growth for their business,” said Ashish Rakheja, Chairman, ACREX India 2017. He added, “There is a greater focus on energy efficiency and end consumers, skilled workers and installers all consider there will be more and more need for energy-saving technologies. There is growth in all areas – hospitals, retail, industry, infrastructure and commercial development zones – which offer incentives for central industrial plant businesses. The refrigeration industry is also enjoying continued growth. All of this offers the ideal conditions to make ACREX India 2017 a success”.

ACREX 2017 is expected to attract 500 exhibitors, 30 percent of them from outside India and more than 50,000 decision-makers, architects, developers, end consumers, advisers and project managers.
