Refrigeration Expo Khobar

The Refrigeration Expo is an international trade fair for refrigeration, cooling, process cooling and cold-chain technologies in Saudi Arabia. It is primarily aimed at trade visitors, decision-makers, engineers, procurement professionals and companies operating in the refrigeration and air-conditioning sectors, as well as the food, pharmaceutical, logistics and process industries. The event provides a specialist platform where suppliers of advanced cooling technologies can connect with professional users and buyers from Saudi Arabia, the wider Middle East and international markets.

The Refrigeration Expo is held annually at Dhahran Expo in the Dammam–Al Khobar metropolitan area of Saudi Arabia. The event is organised by Hazm Events & Media LLC, also known as Hazm Events, a company specialising in international trade events. Its aim is to bring together businesses, industry experts and decision-makers while facilitating business opportunities, networking and the exchange of technical expertise.

The Refrigeration Expo covers a substantial part of the value chain within the professional refrigeration and cooling industry. Key areas include commercial and industrial refrigeration systems, process cooling, HVAC and air-conditioning technology, cold stores and cold-chain solutions, as well as compressors, components, insulation and panel systems. The event also showcases automation, control and IoT technologies. Energy-efficient and sustainable cooling solutions are another major focus, including natural refrigerants, low-global-warming-potential (low-GWP) technologies, intelligent energy management systems and solutions for integrating renewable energy. The exhibition portfolio is complemented by safety and leak-detection systems, testing and certification solutions, as well as engineering, design, installation, maintenance and training services.

The product range includes refrigeration systems, condensing units, evaporators and industrial chillers, alongside air handling units (AHUs), VRF and VRV systems, cooling towers and process-water cooling systems. The exhibition also features cold and freezer rooms, blast freezers and cooling solutions for data centres. Other product categories include reciprocating, screw, scroll and rotary compressors, motors, bearings and seals, as well as PU and PIR insulated panels and insulated doors. Smart sensors, building management systems, remote monitoring and IoT-based temperature monitoring are also represented. Solutions for the food and pharmaceutical industries, retail and logistics include refrigerated display cabinets, pharmaceutical refrigeration, temperature-controlled transport and last-mile cold-chain solutions. The exhibition therefore showcases not only individual products and components but also integrated solutions spanning refrigeration generation and intelligent control through to continuous monitoring of temperature-sensitive supply chains.

Exhibitors primarily include manufacturers, suppliers, distributors and service providers specialising in industrial and commercial refrigeration, HVAC and air-conditioning technology, process cooling, compressor and component manufacturing, cold-storage and insulation technology, building automation, sensors, IoT, energy management, and cold-chain and logistics technology. The event is aimed particularly at industry professionals and executives, technical decision-makers, engineers, planners, procurement specialists, plant operators, EPC contractors, distributors and project developers. It is especially relevant to companies in the food and beverage, pharmaceutical, retail, logistics, industrial manufacturing and process industries.

The venue is Dhahran Expo on Exhibition Road in the Dammam–Al Khobar metropolitan area of Saudi Arabia’s Eastern Province, one of the country’s most important economic and industrial regions. The venue’s address is 4344 Exhibition Road, Al Saif, Al Khobar/Dammam, Saudi Arabia. Its location within the Dammam–Dhahran–Al Khobar metropolitan area and its access to the region’s main transport links make it well suited to both domestic and international trade visitors. The Refrigeration Expo thus provides a central meeting point in Saudi Arabia for suppliers, industry professionals and decision-makers from the refrigeration, process cooling and cold-chain sectors.

The Refrigeration Expo will take place on 3 days from Tuesday, 14. September to Thursday, 16. September 2027 in Khobar.
