The year 2024 has been packed with KAN Group's participation in several important international events. We successfully showcased our systems at specialized exhibitions in Germany, China, Greece, the Czech Republic, India, Saudi Arabia, and Kazakhstan. However, the exhibition in Baku was especially significant, as it marked our first event in Azerbaijan, a country with great potential for future development and collaboration in the Central Asian and Caucasus markets.
It’s important to highlight that Azerbaijan's construction sector is growing rapidly. According to the State Statistics Committee, the construction industry grew by 9% in 2023, with the commercial real estate and residential markets continuing to attract international investments. This makes Azerbaijan an attractive market for suppliers of innovative solutions like KAN-therm systems, which can meet the needs of both modern and historical buildings.
Aquatherm Baku 2024 – The 16th International Exhibition for Heating, Ventilation, Air-Conditioning, Water Supply, Sanitary and Swimming Pool - was a great success. Our booth, featuring systems such as ultraLINE, ultraPRESS, Steel, Inox, surface heating/cooling systems, Slim+ mounted cabinets, and the InoxFlow manifold system, drew a lot of attention. We were visited by potential distributors, professional installers, and popular bloggers covering topics like water supply, heating, and cooling installation systems, their assembly and usage. This reflects the strong interest in KAN products within the Azerbaijani construction community. We made valuable contacts that will likely lead to future partnerships and help promote our products in Azerbaijan.
Tomasz Igel, Managing Director for the markets of Germany, the CIS, Ukraine, and Central Asia, commented:
"In 2024, this is already the second exhibition in Central Asia that KAN Group has participated in, emphasizing the successful development of this region for our company. Azerbaijan is an important and promising market. We are pleased that KAN products will now be available in Baku, and we are confident that our high-quality, easy-to-install systems will quickly earn the trust of local investors and specialists."
Vladimir Kuno, Director of Business Development for Central Asia, added:
"Azerbaijan is a unique blend of ancient traditions and historical buildings, alongside modern, multifunctional architecture such as shopping and business centers, sports arenas, hotels, and concert halls. KAN-therm systems are suitable for all types of buildings, whether for the restoration of historic sites or the construction of modern structures. Our solutions will help preserve the authenticity of architectural heritage and contribute to the development of modern construction projects in this beautiful country."
In conclusion, Aquatherm Baku 2024 was an important milestone in our strategy to enter new markets. We thank everyone who visited our booth for their interest in KAN products and look forward to the future with optimism as we plan to expand our presence in the region. Participation in such events not only promotes our innovative solutions but also strengthens our relationships with partners and customers, which ultimately supports the growth of the company and the construction sector as a whole.
We are excited about the new opportunities ahead and are confident that there are many more successful projects waiting for us in the Azerbaijani market. The regional representative of KAN Group in Azerbaijan, Vugar Abdullayev, will be happy to answer any questions about cooperation and provide all the necessary information about KAN-therm systems.
