AREA and Chillventa have signed a new partnership agreement that further strengthens their cooperation.

AREA is a longstanding supporter of Chillventa, which is hosted biennially by exhibition company NürnbergMesse. AREA management, secretariat and members regularly attend Chillventa since the first edition of the exhibition and AREA is present on the booth of one of its German members, BIV. Moreover, AREA has also timed its autumn general assembly meeting with the exhibition.
This historical relationship will be further enhanced with the signing of a new, comprehensive partnership agreement that now includes the European Heat Pump Summit, a natural development since given that a considerable number of AREA members also attend the Summit.
AREA president, Per Jonasson, said: “AREA is delighted to strengthen its collaboration with NürnbergMesse which will be able to make the most of the large network provided by our 25 national associations in 22 countries.”
Daniela Heinkel, director at Chillventa, NürnbergMesse, commented: “We have maintained very good and close contact for many years now. But there’s more to it than just an outstanding business relationship and areas of common interest; there’s the international aspect, too. AREA, for instance, has more than 13,000 companies from 22 countries specialising in cooling, air-conditioning, ventilation and heat pumps. NürnbergMesse is a global group with its international leading exhibition Chillventa, the trade fair for refrigeration, air-conditioning, ventilation and heat pumps. Then there's the European Heat Pump Summit. The newly signed cooperation agreement provides further powerful confirmation of our mutual commitment. We are very pleased to take our good, collaborative relationship with AREA to a new level.”
