Russia’s Premier Engineering Solutions Exhibition
The 31st International Exhibition of Complex Engineering Solutions for Heating, Water Supply, Sewerage, and Swimming Pools—Aquaflame 2027—is set to take place from February 1 to 4, 2027, at the Crocus Expo International Exhibition Centre in Moscow (Pavilion 3). As the largest exhibition in Russia dedicated to comprehensive engineering solutions, Aquaflame serves as a critical B2B platform connecting manufacturers, distributors, designers, and installation specialists across the region.
A Legacy of Industry Leadership
Aquaflame has a thirty-year history as the central meeting point for the engineering market in Russia and the CIS. The 2026 edition, which marked the exhibition’s 30th anniversary, demonstrated the event’s enduring drawing power: it hosted 587 companies from 12 countries and attracted 27,863 unique specialists from 85 Russian regions and 30 countries worldwide. The total exhibition area reached 34,500 square meters, covering every major segment of building engineering infrastructure.
For 2027, organizers are building on this foundation with an expanded ecosystem that extends beyond the four-day physical event. The Aquaflame Connect digital platform provides year-round networking, matchmaking services, and lead generation for industry professionals, ensuring that business connections formed at the exhibition continue to develop long after the doors close.
Exhibition Sectors and Product Groups
Aquaflame 2027 will span nine key product sectors, reflecting the full spectrum of modern engineering systems:
| Sector | Focus Areas |
|---|---|
| Heating Equipment | Boilers, radiators, underfloor heating, control systems |
| Water Supply Equipment | Pumps, filtration, water treatment, plumbing |
| Gas Supply Equipment | Gas infrastructure, safety systems, metering |
| Pipes, Fittings, Valves | Metal, plastic, and composite piping systems |
| Control & Automation | Instrumentation, sensors, building automation |
| Installation Tools | Pipe cutting, welding, pressing, and diagnostic tools |
| Renewable Energy | Solar thermal, heat pumps, autonomous power sources |
| Pool & Spa | Private and public pool technology, wellness centres, saunas |
| Installation Services | Engineering, commissioning, and maintenance services |
A notable highlight for 2027 is the dedicated tools for assembly, cutting, and welding sector. Organizers note that 22% of visitors are installation specialists actively seeking high-performance tooling for HVAC and pipeline work, with over 6,600 unique buyers in this category alone. As Russia and CIS countries continue modernizing district heating and water networks, demand for professional-grade installation technology has reached a critical peak.
Why Aquaflame Matters for Business
The exhibition’s visitor profile is defined by high purchasing authority. According to organizer data, 93% of visitors influence procurement decisions within their organizations, and 64% attend no other exhibition in the same thematic field. For exhibitors, this translates into direct access to decision-makers: 69% of participating companies report finding new clients and business partners at the event.
The 2027 edition will run concurrently with AIRVent, the international exhibition for ventilation, air conditioning, and refrigeration technology, creating additional cross-visitor traffic between the two related industries.
Business Programme and Industry Recognition
Beyond the exhibition floor, Aquaflame 2027 will feature a comprehensive business programme with conferences, expert sessions, roundtables, and practical masterclasses. Topics in recent editions have included BIM-based engineering design, regulatory changes, digital labelling, water treatment innovation, and workforce challenges in the engineering sector. The programme is free to attend for registered visitors.
The Aquaflame Awards, an industry prize recognising excellence in heating and water supply products, services, and projects, will also return. Winners are selected by an expert council of recognised market professionals, with the awards ceremony serving as a highlight of the exhibition week.
