Altenburg, June 2, 2026
As of June 1, 2026, we have strategically expanded our portfolio to include components for refrigeration, air conditioning and heat pump systems, while simultaneously strengthening our wholesale distribution. This enables us to respond to increasing market demands and reinforces our position as a reliable partner for high-quality line components.
The expanded product range includes ball valves, solenoid valves, expansion valves, filter driers and sight glasses. These additions open up further application possibilities in refrigeration, air conditioning and heat pump technology, while complementing our existing portfolio in a targeted manner.
At the same time, we are intensifying our cooperation with wholesale partners in order to further improve product availability. The portfolio expansion underlines our commitment to providing innovative solutions for energy-efficient and future-proof applications in refrigeration and air conditioning technology. In parallel, we are entering new international markets and continuously developing our sales structure in a dynamic environment.
From June 10 to 11, 2026, the Industrial Refrigeration Network Conference (IRN) will take place at the SCHAUFLER Academy. The conference focuses on energy-efficient solutions with natural refrigerants in industrial refrigeration technology. For more information please click here:

The IRN provides a platform for thought leaders in industrial refrigeration technology in Europe. Participants include manufacturers, system builders, planners, end users, and scientists. Industry associations such as Eurammon and IIAR are also involved to promote the use of natural refrigerants.
AWA will present its latest valves and multi unit armatures for industrial refrigeration technology at IRN 2026. Take the opportunity to exchange ideas on the latest trends and challenges and actively shape the future of industrial refrigeration. For more information on AWA's extensive product range for modern refrigeration technology, please visit our »product overview«.
Armaturenwerk Altenburg (AWA) has been a leading refrigeration valve manufacturer for almost 140 years and is a partner with both global compressor manufacturers and HVAC mechanical contractors. We have always been committed to training and educating our employees and customers.
In close cooperation with pedagogues and experts in refrigeration and air conditioning technology, we have now developed an educational poster that provides visual explanations of the mechanical construction and function of valves.
In addition, the poster offers typical application and operating information.
On the occasion of the Opening Day at the BSZ Vogtland, we presented this poster to the general public for the first time.
We would be pleased to support your commitment to training and apprenticeship with our poster of the AWA valve cutaway. Please contact support@awa-armaturenwerk.de.
