2004 International AHR Exhibitor Highlights

摘要

Serving the HVAC/R industry since 1930, the International Air-Conditioning, Heating, Refrigerating Exposition (AHR) has been a leading source of new HVAC/R equipment products, components, systems, and services. According to AHR show management, the 2004 AHR Expo, Jan. 26 to 28, in Anaheim, CA, U.S., is already larger than any previous West Coast AHR Expo, with 310,000 net sq ft sold and more than 1,400 exhibiting companies signed up. The amount of exhibit space reserved to date in Anaheim exceeds the 301,000 net sqft of exhibits at the last West Coast AHR Expo (1998, in San Francisco, GA, U.S.). The 2004 event is continuing the recent trend toward globalization. During the past several years, the number of exhibitors headquartered outside of the U.S. has been on the increase. Presently, some 216 international exhibiting companies from 33 countries have signed up to display hundreds of new products. Solid representation of companies from around the globe includes more than 40 companies from Europe and three dozen from Pacific Rim countries, with the majority of international support coming from more than 105 Canadian companies.
