SIFA 2026 Trade Fair Tour — Interdisciplinary Fair for Cooling and Applications
SIFA 2026 (Salon Interprofessionnel du Froid et de ses Applications), organized jointly by the PYC Group and Infopro Digital, is a commercial fair dedicated to cooling and its applications, held in the 7th hall of the Eurexpo exhibition center in Lyon on 24-26 November 2026. The fair alternates annually in Paris and biennially in Lyon; according to the organizer, the 2025 edition at Paris Porte de Versailles was the 10th edition, and the PYC Group’s publication, as reported by La Rpf’s official balance sheet, hosted 135 participants and 4,280 visitors. SIFA brings together manufacturers, cooling contractors, end users, engineering firms, and OEM companies. The exhibition covers cooling components such as compressors, heat exchangers, and condenser units, as well as supermarket and food‑service equipment, refrigerants, natural gases, isothermal packaging, heat recovery, and monitoring systems. A two‑day conference program addresses F‑Gas regulation, heat pumps, safety of connected systems, and artificial intelligence; the workshop area will be set up as an agora in the middle of the hall in 2026. Because France is in the Schengen area, Turkish citizens require a Schengen visa.
Delta Expo Travel Agency is planning your trip to Lyon, including flight, hotel, visa, transfer, and fair registration.
