Chillventa 2026: Turning Challenges into solutions, together
Three days of conversations, ideas and collaboration: at Chillventa 2026 in Nuremberg, Güntner put customer challenges at the heart of the experience. Because for us, partnership means more than delivering technology. It means listening, understanding and working side by side to find the right solution for every application.
Chillventa 2026 Recap
Bringing real customer challenges to the table
Every cooling and heating application comes with its own requirements. Improving energy efficiency, ensuring reliable operation, reducing lifecycle costs, increasing transparency through connected systems or meeting sustainability goals are just some of the challenges our customers are facing today.
That is why our approach to Chillventa 2026 was simple: Bring Your Challenge.
At the Güntner Solution Plaza, customers and partners had the opportunity to meet our experts from Industrial & Commercial Refrigeration, Energy & Process Cooling, Climate Solutions, Data Centers, Controls & IoT and Service. Rather than starting with a product, many conversations started with a question: What challenge are you trying to solve?
From there, the focus was on understanding the individual application, exchanging perspectives and exploring solutions together.
The Güntner Solution Plaza
At the Güntner Solution Plaza, customers, partners and industry professionals met with our experts to exchange ideas and explore solutions across refrigeration, data centers, energy and process cooling, climate solutions, controls & IoT, and service. These areas formed the core of Güntner’s presence at the show.
But beyond the technologies presented, it was the conversations around them that made Chillventa especially valuable.
Partnership means solving challenges together
For Güntner, successful partnerships are built when both sides meet as equals.
Our philosophy of Partner in Customer Success means listening before proposing a solution, understanding the bigger picture behind an application and combining our expertise with the knowledge and experience of our customers. This approach shaped our presence at Chillventa: creating a platform for real conversations, shared ideas and collaborative problem-solving.
Because the most valuable solution is not necessarily the most obvious one. It is the one that addresses the customer's specific requirements and contributes to their long-term success.
Chillventa gave us the opportunity to have exactly these conversations face to face. Customers brought their experience, requirements and challenges. We brought our expertise across cooling and heating technologies, controls, IoT, digital solutions and service. Together, we were able to look beyond individual components and discuss the performance of the entire application.
From technology to real-world value
Across industrial and commercial refrigeration, data centers, energy and process cooling, and climate solutions, our presence reflected the range of applications in which cooling and heating requirements continue to evolve.
The show provided the setting to explore those developments together, connecting Güntner expertise with the questions and requirements brought to us by visitors.
And that exchange matters.
Because the most relevant solution does not begin with technology alone.
It begins with understanding the application and the challenge behind it.
From physical products to an immersive experience
Technology naturally played a central role.
Visitors could discover the Cubic VARIO Air Cooler and V-shape VARIO Dry Cooler, while a VR experience allowed them to explore applications in context. Bringing physical products and an immersive environment together opened up another way to discuss technologies around specific customer needs and applications.
Digitalization was another important part of the Güntner Chillventa experience. Connected controls, IoT and digital solutions were presented around the goals of improving performance, visibility and operational efficiency, alongside a software ecosystem designed to support smarter decision-making throughout the equipment lifecycle.
Together, these elements demonstrated a broader approach: connecting products, controls and software so that solutions can monitor, adapt and optimize.
What stays with us after Chillventa
Trade shows are temporary. The conversations they create should not be.
We leave Chillventa 2026 with new perspectives and many conversations to continue. They provide valuable context as we keep working with customers and partners on the cooling and heating challenges ahead. Most importantly, Chillventa once again gave us the opportunity to connect face to face with the people behind those challenges.
Thank you to everyone who visited us in Nuremberg, shared their perspective and spent time exchanging ideas with our team. And thank you to all our colleagues who contributed to making Chillventa 2026 a meaningful meeting point for our industry.
The show may be over, but the conversations continue.
