Hispacold has taken part in the first of two “Technical Conferences on Professional Installation and Maintenance” organized by IES Heliópolis, a professional training center that trains the professionals of the future for a career in the assembly and maintenance of thermal and fluid systems in the sub-sectors of climate-control (heating, refrigeration, and ventilation) and the production of sanitary hot water for the industrial, construction, and civil engineering sectors.

Under the general title of “The Refrigeration Technician 4.0: An Industry Profile”, the first conference featured numerous speakers, who explored the subjects of refrigeration installers and the public administration, dual training of refrigeration installers, the industrial refrigeration sector in Andalusia, the companies that install refrigeration and climate-control systems, and the sector’s business associations. Their talks were followed by an interesting round-table session, which involved representatives from Hispacold and discussed the ideal profile for companies in the sector, current installers, and the concept of the “installer 4.0”.
