The Need for Incentives and Facilities to Attract International Companies to the Exhibition
I, Arman Shah Mohamadlou, CEO of Armanic Sanat, am pleased to have participated in the IRANIMEX exhibition and had the opportunity to showcase the capabilities of Armanic Sanat in the field of HVAC systems, marine refrigeration, and explosion-proof solutions. Armanic Sanat began its operations in 2009, focusing on HVAC systems, and in 2010, with the expansion of its expertise, officially entered the field of design, manufacturing, installation, and after-sales services in the marine, oil, gas, petrochemical, and power industries. We take pride in being recognized as the first Iranian company in this sector built on global knowledge.
Our goal in participating in IRANIMEX was to introduce the company’s technical and knowledge-based capabilities to the maritime community and related industries, establish connections and collaborations with domestic and international companies, attract investors and develop opportunities for participation in large-scale projects, identify new market needs, and keep pace with global advancements. Additionally, we aimed to introduce our latest products and technologies, particularly explosion-proof and marine HVAC systems, and these objectives continue to be pursued. At this edition of IRANIMEX, we introduced a new explosion-proof HVAC and refrigeration system designed according to ATEX standards, suitable for hazardous environments such as offshore platforms and marine applications. This system, utilizing advanced intelligent control technology, offers high energy efficiency and helps reduce operational costs.
The IRANIMEX exhibition, as one of the strategic events in the maritime industry, provides a unique opportunity for the development of this sector. This event serves as a platform to showcase domestic capabilities alongside international technologies, attracting investors’ attention to the potential of the oil, gas, petrochemical, and maritime industries. The presentation of our successful projects at the exhibition created new investment opportunities for the development of innovative systems.
To improve IRANIMEX, I suggest organizing more specialized programs so that participants can gain a deeper understanding of topics related to the maritime and HVAC industries. Holding expert panels with the presence of both domestic and international specialists can transform this event into a scientific and commercial reference point. Additionally, incentives and facilities should be provided to attract international companies, allowing leading foreign firms to participate more easily. Creating a dedicated section for showcasing local technologies and domestic innovations can further highlight Iran’s industrial capabilities. Expanding networking opportunities through online and offline platforms can also facilitate business connections and foster new collaborations between companies.
One of the standout aspects of this exhibition was the engagement with international companies. The negotiations held with international firms opened up opportunities for joint production of explosion-proof systems and exports to foreign markets. Foreign companies also expressed interest in our turnkey solutions. During the exhibition, we entered negotiations with several international companies regarding the production of advanced components for marine HVAC systems.
My suggestion to the exhibition secretariat is to implement more targeted communication about the event to attract a greater number of specialized attendees, maintain continuous engagement with participants to assess their feedback and needs, design exhibition spaces tailored to specialized technologies to enhance the visitor experience, and organize side programs such as innovation competitions for startup companies.
