The HVAC&R Hub will return as a key feature of BuildNZ and Facilities Integrate, taking place at the Auckland Showgrounds on 15–16 July 2025. Following a successful 2024 edition, organisers report strong rebooking rates and expect the 2025 event to be the largest HVAC&R showcase to date.
BuildNZ, co-located with Facilities Integrate and the National Safety Show, is positioned as New Zealand’s leading trade event for professionals in building design, construction, safety, and facilities management. The two-day event brings together suppliers, experts, and industry stakeholders for networking, education, and product demonstrations.
Confirmed exhibitors for the HVAC&R Hub include EBM Papst, Panasonic, Temperzone, Elta Group – Smooth-Air, and Ventüer. The show will also feature international and thematic pavilions such as the Made in Germany Pavilion, along with seminar sessions, live demonstrations, and a “learning lane” focused on training and upskilling opportunities.
“Trade events like BuildNZ are essential for fostering face-to-face connections with customers, colleagues and industry peers. They provide an invaluable platform for sourcing, networking and building lasting relationships,” said Lorraine Smith, XPO’s Head of Sales.
Organisers anticipate more than 5,800 industry professionals and decision-makers to attend BuildNZ 2025, which marks over three decades as a national trade platform for the construction and design sectors.
