Qingdao East China Refrigeration, Air-Conditioning, Heat Pump, Ventilation & Cold‑Chain Expo

The East China Refrigeration, Air‑Conditioning, Heat Pump, Ventilation & Cold‑Chain Expo (CRHE) is the leading, high‑impact premier event for the refrigeration, air‑conditioning, and HVAC industries in Eastern China.

Concurrently with CRHE, the “East China HVAC Academic Exchange Conference” is held, featuring a total exhibition area of 50,000 square meters, more than 700 exhibiting companies, and over 60,000 visitors. CRHE brings together domestic and international market opportunities and cutting‑edge technologies, providing comprehensive coverage of technical discussions and market exchanges, and creating a multi‑dimensional platform for in‑depth business and cultural engagement.

Eastern China is the region with the strongest demand for the refrigeration, air‑conditioning, and cold‑chain sectors. These industries are experiencing rapid growth and play a pivotal role in advancing green and low‑carbon transformation. As a fast‑emerging new first‑tier city, Qingdao has attracted numerous global industry leaders, establishing a complete industrial chain that spans from core components to finished equipment manufacturing. From the booming commercial real estate and data center sectors to the critical port‑based cold‑chain logistics in northern China, Qingdao’s strategic position as a Eurasian hub connecting the world has generated abundant and substantial application scenarios and market demand for central air conditioning, industrial refrigeration, and other products.

CRHE showcases to domestic and international peers and professional buyers innovative achievements across industry–academia–research collaboration and related fields, including new technologies, processes, materials, products, and equipment, thereby vigorously promoting the rapid and orderly development of China’s refrigeration, air‑conditioning, and cold‑chain sectors. CRHE is committed to building an integrated industrial chain and ecosystem for China’s refrigeration and air‑conditioning industries.

The Value of Exhibiting at the Qingdao East China Refrigeration Expo (CRHE)

• Co‑hosted by the Shandong Society of Refrigeration and the refrigeration societies and associations of six provinces and one municipality in East China, the Qingdao East China Exhibition on Refrigeration, Air Conditioning, Heat Pumps, Ventilation and Cold Chain Logistics (CRHE) has been successfully staged three times. It is one of the largest and most influential specialized events for the refrigeration and HVAC industries in the region. Amid China’s vigorous推进“双碳”战略 and accelerating green, low‑carbon transformation, the expo focuses on the full产业链 of refrigeration, air conditioning, heat pumps, ventilation, and cold chain logistics, earning recognition as a bellwether for the development of East China’s refrigeration industry and a core platform for companies seeking to expand their markets.
• A one‑stop showcase covering the entire industry value chain. The exhibition encompasses refrigeration equipment (compressors, condensers, evaporators, cold storage units, etc.), air‑conditioning systems (central air conditioning, commercial and residential units, heat pumps, etc.), ventilation equipment (fans, ductwork, diffusers, fire dampers, etc.), cold‑chain logistics gear (refrigerated trucks, cold room doors and panels, cold‑chain monitoring systems, etc.), as well as refrigeration components, refrigerants, and cleaning and disinfection supplies. From core parts to integrated system solutions, and from traditional refrigeration equipment to green, energy‑efficient technologies, exhibitors can achieve end‑to‑end engagement—from technical demonstrations and brand exposure to business negotiations.
• Precise access to key buyers and supply chain resources across East China and nationwide. As a rapidly rising new first‑tier city, Qingdao hosts numerous globally leading companies and has developed a complete industrial ecosystem, from core components to finished product manufacturing. Leveraging its strategic position as a Eurasian hub connecting the world, the city offers rich application scenarios and substantial market demand for refrigeration, air conditioning, and industrial cooling products. The 2025 edition welcomed 189 premium exhibitors and nearly 20,000 professional buyers. The 2026 event is projected to expand significantly, with an exhibition area of 50,000 to 60,000 square meters, bringing together over 700 exhibitors and attracting more than 50,000 to 60,000 professional visitors. Exhibitors will have direct access to East China’s—and the nation’s—most influential buyer segments, enabling efficient business对接 and market expansion.
• Unique value for Chinese enterprises—strategic engine for deepening presence in East China. East China is one of the regions with the highest demand for refrigeration, air conditioning, and cold‑chain logistics in China, where these sectors are experiencing rapid growth and playing a pivotal role in the country’s green, low‑carbon transition. CRHE serves as a critical platform for domestic refrigeration and HVAC companies to showcase自主技术, engage East China customers, and secure market orders. Concurrently, the “East China Refrigeration, Air Conditioning and HVAC Academic Conference” gathers industry experts, business leaders, and policymakers to conduct in‑depth discussions on key topics such as energy conservation and carbon reduction, technological innovation, and smart cold chains. Through this platform, exhibitors can connect with high‑quality engineering and distribution partners in East China, seizing opportunities to lead the upgrade of the region’s refrigeration and HVAC industry.
• Frontline of technological innovation and industry trends. At the expo, green refrigeration technologies, smart cold chains, energy‑efficient heat pumps, and high‑performance ventilation systems are among the highlights. Keeping pace with the industry’s “green,智能,节能化” development trajectory, exhibitors can gain timely access to the latest technical advances, policy standards, and market trends.
• Qingdao’s locational and industrial advantages. Held at the Qingdao International Expo Center (Jimo Hall), the event is situated at the heart of the Shandong Peninsula Blue Economic Zone. As a major northern Chinese port city and economic center, Qingdao boasts a thriving commercial property and data center sector, along with a vital port‑based cold‑chain logistics体系, providing abundant应用场景 for refrigeration, air conditioning, and cold‑chain industries. As Shandong’s economic flagship and a key manufacturing hub in northern China, Qingdao positions CRHE as a strategic platform for exhibitors to connect with markets across East China and the broader national landscape.
