Chillventa is the world’s leading trade fair for refrigeration, air conditioning, ventilation and heat pump technology, bringing together manufacturers, engineers, and decision-makers from across the HVAC&R value chain. For CSM TUBE, it’s the ideal stage to connect with the clients and partners who are shaping the future of heat exchange systems.
Quick facts:
- Dates: October 13–15, 2026
- Location: Nuremberg, Germany
- Booth: Hall 1, Booth 1-516
At our booth, visitors will find our stainless steel tube solutions engineered specifically for heat exchange applications, built for corrosion resistance, pressure reliability, and long-term performance in demanding industrial environments. Our team will be on-site throughout the event to walk through technical specifications, discuss application-specific requirements, and explore how our tubes can fit into your next project.
Specialist Forum: A Sustainable and Reliable Alternative to Copper
Beyond the booth, CSM TUBE will take a more active role in the show’s technical programme. The session will open with remarks from Oliver Degen, CEO of CSM TUBE DEUTSCHLAND, before our Plant Manager, Giosuè Tormena, takes the stage to speak at the Chillventa Specialist Forum on a topic that’s becoming increasingly urgent across the industry.
Session details:
- Title: Stainless Steel Tubes for Heat Exchange Applications: A Sustainable and Reliable Alternative to Copper
- Date & time: October 14, 2026, 12:00 PM – 12:20 PM
- Location: Hall 8 / Booth 8-512, Specialist Forum
The Problem with Relying on Copper
For decades, copper has been the default material for heat exchanger tubing and for good reason: it’s a reliable thermal conductor with a long track record. But the market conditions that once made copper the obvious choice are shifting. Raw material availability is tightening, prices are increasingly volatile, and supply chains are under growing pressure. Manufacturers who depend entirely on copper are, in effect, exposed to risks they can no longer fully control.
The Case for Stainless Steel
In his session, Tormena will walk attendees through why stainless steel is emerging as a genuine, competitive alternative, as a stronger long-term choice. Expect the talk to address:
- Material stability: how stainless steel offers more predictable availability and pricing compared to copper
- Durability and corrosion resistance: what makes stainless steel tubes reliable over the full lifecycle of a heat exchanger
- Sustainability: how the material choice supports broader environmental and regulatory goals in HVAC&R manufacturing
Why This Matters for Your Business
If your business designs, manufactures, or specifies heat exchangers, the choice of material behind your tubing is a decision that affects cost stability, supply chain resilience, and long-term product reliability. Chillventa 2026 is an opportunity to hear directly from the people engineering that shift, ask questions specific to your application, and see the material difference for yourself.
Let’s Talk in Nuremberg
Whether you’re evaluating alternatives to copper, sourcing stainless steel tubes for an upcoming project, or simply want to see what’s next for heat exchange technology, we’d like to meet you at Chillventa 2026.
