President of the Association about Congress:
Welcome to FEST Congress 2025: "Empowered to Impact:
Sustainable Transformation of the Sanitary and HVAC Sector"
Our industry is at a turning point. Sustainability is no longer a distant goal—it is a necessity. Changing regulations, shifting customer expectations, and increasing pressure on resources demand that we rethink the way we operate. Circularity, collaboration, and innovation will define the future of the HVAC and sanitary sector, and FEST Congress 2025 is where that future takes shape.
What to expect
This year’s congress will take you on a journey through key challenges and opportunities impacting our industry. Through inspiring keynotes, thought-provoking discussions, and practical case studies, we will explore:
Seizing the business advantage
Sustainability is more than our responsibility—it’s also a competitive edge. Companies that embrace circularity and sustainable innovation are not only reducing their environmental impact but also unlocking new business opportunities, increasing efficiency, and gaining customer trust. The HVAC and sanitary sector has the potential to be a front-runner in this transition, shaping the future of construction, infrastructure, and resource management. Those who take action now will be the ones leading the industry forward.

Key Topics of the Congress
Circularity in the Sanitary and HVAC Sector
The shift toward a circular economy is redefining how materials and products are used in the built
environment. Circularity goes beyond recycling—it’s about designing products for reuse, repair, and
recovery.
We will explore how circular principles are shaping the industry, what role wholesalers can play in
closing material loops, and how supply chains can adapt and improve with this transition.
Sustainable Supply Chains
Sustainability in supply chains is becoming a key factor in business resilience and competitiveness.
From responsible sourcing to smarter logistics and product traceability, the HVAC and sanitary
sector is seeing major changes in how products move from production to installation. Discussions
will focus on strategies for reducing environmental footprints, improving material efficiency, and
fostering collaboration between suppliers, distributors, and manufacturers to create supply chains
that are both resilient and responsible.
New Business & Service Models
The way businesses create and deliver value is evolving. More companies are looking beyond selling
products by offering services, optimizing product lifecycles through take-back schemes, and
developing leasing or repair models. What does this mean for wholesalers? The congress will explore
how these approaches can reshape market dynamics, redefine customer relationships, and align
business operations with a future that prioritizes durability and efficiency.
Regulations & Compliance in a Changing Market
Legislation is becoming a major driver of sustainability in the sector. New EU regulations on
circularity, energy efficiency, and corporate sustainability reporting are reshaping market
conditions, requiring businesses to adapt. The congress will provide insights into key regulatory
developments, their impact on wholesalers, and how companies can stay ahead by integrating
sustainability into their core strategies.
