In addition to the pavilion, numerous other German brands will also be present at the 2016 fair.

Furthermore, Italian firms are also making great efforts to expand their businesses into promising markets for individual heating technologies such as China. This year, the Italian Pavilion will return with a stronger line-up of exhibitors and occupy 400 sqm of exhibition space. Located in Halls E1 and W2, the pavilion will showcase an array of high-quality products from top Italian manufacturers.

Our products are already available in many Chinese cities and are gradually building a reputation for durability and reliability among customers. We believe that exhibiting in ISH China & CIHE is the best way to display our product specialty, expand our business in the China market, strengthen client relationships and discover new business channels.”
