If there’s one thing we took away from our time at the AHR Expo 2026 in Las Vegas, it’s that the HVACR industry is getting a whole lot smarter. We had a fantastic week sharing a booth with our partners, ALPHR Technology and Nolek, and it was incredible to see the industry come together to look at what’s next for the sector.
For us at VES, the show was all about helping manufacturers “ship with confidence.” Whether you’re building residential heat pumps or automotive A/C systems, the pressure is on to meet higher quality standards while keeping production lines moving fast.
One of the biggest topics we discussed was why helium remains the “gold star” standard. With new refrigerants and stricter environmental rules, traditional leak testing just isn’t cutting it anymore. We were able to show how our helium solutions, like the SLEEK platform, provide high level precision without the massive price tag or footprint of a bespoke system.
We also enjoyed discussing smarter end of line solutions. By working with ALPHR, we offer automated leak test lines that fit right into a modern workflow. Moving toward “plug and play” solutions helps reduce downtime and increase throughput, which was a top priority for the production managers we met.
We are coming home from Vegas more inspired than ever. A huge thank you to everyone who stopped by to say hello or talk shop. If you want to know more about making your production line more reliable, let’s grab a coffee and chat.
See you at the next one!
