26th HVACR expo the biggest one; turn out could be more in coming years: Syed Adnan Qaiser Qaiser Mukhtar & Brothers hopeful for good business deals under negotiations

Karachi is a very big market and there is a huge potential which we Pakistani companies can explore, Says Syed Adnan Qaiser, the Director of Qaiser Mukhtar & Brothers.
The organizers of 26th HVACR Expo claimed to have put up the largest show ever in Pakistan. But, Adnan is partly agreed to it. “Yes, it was a very big show in terms of participation of exhibitors; may be the biggest one! However, I believe turn out would eventually increase in coming years. Karachi moot could be much bigger with encouraging more turn out of visitors in the exhibition.
He implied that Karachi and Lahore expos were both the biggest ones in recent years for different reasons; and both setting their benchmarks; one for its coverage and the other for its potential.
In Lahore, foreign companies including those from China, Turkey, and Dubai responded vehemently and this time they turned up in Karachi too. It helped Karachi expo in setting a new benchmark—utilizing the links created two years back.
The participation of Pakistani and foreign companies in Karachi exhibited the level of HVACR potential in Pakistan of which Karachi is the largest city.
Adnan believed it was too early to determine the volume of business generated in Karachi expo. “We met the people and talked about products and the projects. Now, we are exchanging information and sharing details of the projects with our contacts. It takes time to finalize deals but we are hopeful for the good business in future.
Qaiser Mukhtar & Brothers appeared in Karachi expo with the number of products, but the company chose 4 products which remained in focus. Those included Copper pipes with the brand name of Crane copper tube (ASTM B280) standardized for ACR requirements. Insulation: including glass wool & elastomeric closed cell (ODEStar flex& R-flex) respectively from Turkey. The other two were refrigerant gases branded General Gas Kryon from Italy and Pressure & Temperature instruments from Wika Germany’, he said.
Company’s copper pipes (Crane Copper tube) also possess medical grade besides their use in refrigeration line. ODE Insulations are yet another milestone in HVACR sector with environmental protection declaration (EPD) certifications. General Gas Kryon Refrigerant gasses offer Ozone Layer-friendly products.
Asked if Pakistan-made products were also encouraged as the organizers of 26th HVACR Expo had been claiming, he replied that it was a motivational concept to promote local products, which he thinks is a good idea. This was also highlighted in the conference too and hoped for producing goods according to the international standards. He also concludes that HVACR Society cannot take this initiative alone; the government has to play its part too as local manufacturing requires free zones for production and energy (electricity and gas) etc. which fall in the official domain.
Syed Adnan Qaiser believes it is a thought process which would give its results with the patronization of the government.n
