Messe Frankfurt (organizers of ISH NA) honored a variety of new products at the most recent ISH show in Frankfurt, Germany. “Design Plus” products showcased at ISH North America are the “cream of the crop,” the organizers said, and have been recognized as leading new products in today’s marketplace.

In addition, a New Product Show-case will feature “the latest and most creative new products launched in North America in the past year,” organizers said. Several exhibiting companies announced that they will use this expo as a launching pad for their new products. The companies include American Standard, Camus Hydronics, Crown Boiler, DynaQuip Controls, Grundfos Canada, Heatlink, Midland Metal Manufacturing, Peerless Heater, Roberts-Gordon, and Watts Industries.

On the 300,000-square-foot exhibit floor, more than 400 exhibitors will be visited by contractors, builders, building and plant managers, wholesale-distributors, and engineers.

Preregistration for the expo (until Oct. 30) costs $10 U.S. Onsite registration costs $25 Canadian.

In addition, leading industry experts will host more than 50 seminars. Topics will include hydronic heating, construction contracts, Legionnaire’s disease, indoor air quality, water treatment, sales and marketing, and installation trends and techniques.
