Increasing demands for energy efficiency, digitalization and regulation are making applications in refrigeration, ventilation and air conditioning technology more complex. Today’s solutions must go beyond individual components and take into account the interaction of the entire system. ebm‑papst will be highlighting this approach at Chillventa 2026 in Hall 7A, Booth 320.

With the theme “Today. Tomorrow. Beyond. Creating value across the system,” the company will showcase solutions spanning its customers’ entire value chain. The focus is on applications and systems—from planning and development through operation to digital services and future business models. “Our customers’ challenges are becoming more complex. Efficiency, reliability and digitalization cannot be viewed in isolation. What matters most is the interaction of the entire system,” says Dr. Klaus Geißdörfer, CEO of the ebm‑papst Group.

Whether it comes to heat pumps, ventilation systems, cooling or refrigeration systems: The performance of modern applications is increasingly determined by the optimal coordination of air technology, electronics, software and control systems. At the same time, topics such as energy efficiency, operational safety, retrofitting, resilience and compliance with new ErP requirements are gaining importance. With its application expertise, ebm‑papst supports customers in optimizing existing systems and developing the next generation of energy-efficient technology.

One example of efficiency at work is the new AxiBlade.Perform and AxiBlade.S.Perform fan series, which will be unveiled for the first time at Chillventa. The fans demonstrate how efficiency and system integration can be improved even at the component level. Another key focus is digitalization. With the NEXAIRA digital ecosystem, ebm‑papst makes data usable across the entire system lifecycle—from monitoring and reporting to predictive maintenance and data-driven services. In this way, the company is consistently evolving from a component manufacturer into a systems and innovation partner.

Philipp Straßer, Key Account Manager for Retrofit Refrigeration, and Felix Klein, Partner Manager at ebm‑papst neo, will demonstrate how existing cooling and refrigeration systems can be made more efficient and future-proof through intelligent retrofit concepts.
