The ISH Exhibition Underlined the Continued Dynamics of the Global Heating Industry

ISH is the leading trade fair for the global heating and plumbing industry, taking place every second year in Frankfurt, Germany. The organizers were positively surprised by the high visitor count this year which is the second largest in the 50 years’ history of ISH. With lots of new exciting and energy efficient technologies emerging, the industry seems more or less resistant to the current global economic crisis.
 
The central theme at ISH 2009 was the systems approach: at almost all stands, manufacturers presented the twin climate protection strategy pursued by the heating sector and politicians: energy efficient heating systems, based on renewable energy.

“The high representation of the sector here leaves no doubt that they will provide consumers with the right answers for saving costs and energy, thereby helping to protect the environment. Our industry is confident that it will retain the market volume of the previous year – at least in Germany”, said Klaus Jesse, member of the steering committee of the German Central Heating Industry Association (VdZ) and President of the German Industrial Association for Building, Energy and Environmental Technology (BDH).
 
As mentioned Danfoss had several stands at the fair, demonstrating its competencies within both components and total heating systems. At the stand in hall 9.0 we, for instance, presented our domestic hot water systems interactively via small flash animations. You can download and install these flash animations which show how our dhw solutions: ThermoDual®, ThermoClean®, Legiomin® and Legiokill® function by clicking the below link.

The animations are in German and to view them you must unzip the file you download and save the files somewhere on your computer. Then double-click on the .exe file to view it.

Shortly after the fair ended our internal sales departments started following up on all visits paid to our stands during the exhibition. We, of course, wish to respond to all requests as soon as possible and have already continued many of the consults held at the fair.

We met many visitors, customers, colleagues and business peers from around the globe during this year’s ISH and look forward to meeting you again on the next fair!
