Peter Young, Sales Director of the Division of Refrigeration and Air Conditioning of Danfoss Brasil

"The importance of Febrava for the industry is indisputable, specifically for the sectors of refrigeration and air conditioning. During the four days of the fair we reinforced our presence in the sector and we were able to show our launchings to companies we already supply for, and even more important, it is the moment we have to show our differentials to an audience with potential to become customers, here in Brazil and in other countries of Latin America.
There are several reasons for this participation.  The main one is the importance of Febrava for the segments of refrigeration and air conditioning, not only for Brazil but for all Latin America, markets where Danfoss is one of the leaders in sales of components and solutions, as well as in the whole world. Besides confirming a positive trend for the sales of the sector, the presence at Febrava is also seen as an important way of updating the information about the market for all participants. For Danfoss, participating of this fair since the first edition and with more than 40 years of operations in Brazil, we take advantage of the event to reinforce, even more, the visibility of our products, specially the launchings. The strengthening of the market is a strong reason for the participation of Danfoss at the fair. By meeting in one place: great designers, technicians, manufacturers of solutions, components and equipment, and also final costumers as exhibitors or visitors, our goal can be achieved.
The result that Danfoss expects with the participation at Febrava is that our launchings are immediately known by our potential customers and partners. We also intend, with our presence, to consolidate the image of Danfoss as a supplier of components for air conditioning and not only refrigeration.”

Traditionally, the participation of GREE at FEBRAVA happens independently of the world crisis, due to the visibility of our actual products and the new models to be launched, promoting the brand. During FEBRAVA, we expect to close several businesses and initiate others that will be closed after the event. We also expect to promote the brand GREE as a synonym of quality and state-of-the art technology.”

“ FEBRAVA is a very important fair for our segment, as it shows the new trends that the companies bring to the fair, bearing in mind that the majority of companies in this sector are connected to companies abroad, or they are multinational companies, and therefore, they bring the last launchings of American, European or Asian trends, which is the case of Baltimore Aircoil, that has factories in all continents and participates of the main international fairs, in the United States, Germany, China or Brazil, with products of its factories in those regions and novelties developed in their laboratory. 
We decided to participate because this show can cover a very wide range of customers and opinion leaders in the segment of air conditioning and refrigeration, which will be able to see at the fair, the novelties we are launching as well as familiarize with this new products and thus specify them to fulfill their needs.
With our participation at the fair, we expect to increase our market share in 30%, in the air conditioning segment.”
