16 ACR Show Preview


Countdown to the ACR Show


With less than six weeks to go, and exhibitors queing up to take stands, ACR News takes a look at what the ACR Show 2014 has to offer.


WITH JUST OVER two months to go before doors open, a surge of exhibitor bookings has confirmed the industry’s support for the ACR Show 2014, the UK’s only national exhibition dedicated to air conditioning and refrigeration.


The show is being staged in Hall 9 at the NEC, from 11 to 13 February, 2014.


The latest companies to confirm as exhibitors include leading controls company Carel UK, refrigerant supplier DuPont, air conditioning specialists Andrew Sykes and Greenmill AC, component suppliers Pump House and Aspen, refrigeration supplier Coldkit, insulation manufacturer Kingspan, and heat transfer fluid specialist Hydratech.


Bob Cowlard, managing director of Carel UK, said: “The show is well-timed for us and provides a great opportunity to see and talk to a wide range of people from across the UK market. We will be demonstrating our expanding range of controls and humidification technology and highlighting the potential for total control solutions.” In addition to well-known companies there are a significant number of overseas exhibitors, keen to introduce their products to the UK market.


These include established manufacturers from Europe, Turkey, Egypt, India, South Korea and China.


As well as being able to see the latest technology, visitors have free access to the industry’s top experts, with 38 seminar sessions covering topical business and technical issues.
