shecco’s team was active in collecting latest information about industry and product trends for its world-leading online platforms www.R744.com, www.ammonia21.com, www.hydrocarbons21.com, and www.R718.com – its newest addition to the range of industry hubs for sustainable heating, cooling and refrigeration solutions. Overall, a growing number of products operating on ammonia, carbon dioxide, hydrocarbons or water clearly reflected the strong industry trend towards HFC-free technology solutions.
“We have been attending a multitude of trade fairs over the last decade. As a keen observer of the natural refrigerants industry this was the best-ever event in terms of products on display,” Marc Chasserot, Managing Director shecco, summarised the positive trend.
