The Association of European Component Manufacturers will convene in Brussels to discuss policy, market trends, and emerging challenges in the refrigeration and air conditioning sector.
The Association of European Component Manufacturers (ASERCOM) is set to hold its annual convention on 24 January 2025 in Brussels, Belgium. This flagship event will focus on policy, market insights, and challenges within the refrigeration, air conditioning, and heat pump (RACHP) industry.
ASERCOM president Marco Masini highlighted the convention’s intent by stating, “This year’s programme reflects a deliberate focus on connecting strategic discussions with real-world challenges.” Masini emphasised that the convention aims to provide actionable insights by addressing not just policy and market trends, but also the practical hurdles faced by industry participants and installers on the ground.
The agenda for the convention will feature a variety of sessions, including an overview of ASERCOM’s achievements in brand awareness, a look into the EU political environment, and key insights into medium- to long-term policies that will affect the sector.
Significant discussions are expected around sustainability and fair competition, both of which will be framed under the ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) umbrella. Additional topics include refrigerants and polymers, which present regulatory challenges for the industry.
Industry experts will address emerging trends and technologies, particularly focusing on the future of heat pumps and the implications of the newly adopted F-gas regulation. Moreover, the role of certification in fostering a sustainable and competitive industry will be a key point of discussion. Participants will also hear insights on cybersecurity and grid stability, both of which are crucial for enabling efficient RACHP applications.
A dedicated Challenges section will confront pressing issues including manpower and skills shortages in the sector, spotlighting potential solutions related to training, safety, and certification processes. Additionally, discussions surrounding manufacturer liability are anticipated, alongside updates on standards that ensure compliance and safety for RACHP components.
For those unable to attend in person, online participation options remain available via the ASERCOM website, allowing broader access to the convention’s insights and discussions.
