2026 Shanghai Hotel Supplies Exhibition Concludes Successfully | Fland Delivers High-End Cold Chain System Solutions

March 30 – April 2 – The 34th Shanghai International Hotel Exhibition 2026 came to a successful close at the National Exhibition and Convention Center (Hongqiao). Focusing on the cold chain needs of high-end catering, star-rated hotels, and government/enterprise canteens, Fland showcased its core products and system capabilities, including stainless steel cold storage, heat recovery units, PIR energy-saving insulation panels, and the Cold Cloud platform.

Throughout the exhibition, the booth attracted steady high foot traffic, with in-depth discussions from representatives of chain restaurant brands, star-rated hotels, and engineering contractors. But more important than “popularity” was a noticeable shift in customer focus: from the products themselves to system capabilities and project implementation ability – not only cost reduction, replicability, and operability but also complete bid-winning support and qualification assurance to ensure successful project awarding and delivery.

By 2026, the number of chain restaurant stores in China is expected to exceed 800,000.

The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) for commercial central kitchens and related cold chain demand is 12.3%.

The smart kitchen equipment market continues to grow.

The share of smart investment in cold chain systems is constantly increasing.

A fundamental change is taking place in the industry: cold chain has evolved from “auxiliary equipment” to “core system capability”.

Especially for star-rated hotels, chain restaurant brands, and government/enterprise canteens, the cold chain system directly determines food safety levels, store replication efficiency, and energy/operational costs. Fulande provides a comprehensive solution to these challenges.

Upgrading from “Refrigeration Equipment” to “Energy Manageme

In high-frequency usage scenarios such as star-rated hotels, chain restaurants, and government/enterprise canteens, this “cooling while recovering” operation mode continuously reduces energy expenses, lowers reliance on external energy, and optimizes the operational cost structure from the source. The cold storage is no longer just an energy-consuming device but becomes a system tool that creates long-term energy-saving value, helping customers achieve stable and sustainable long-term operational cost reduction.

Efficient Cold Storage Enclosure System

Upgrading from “insulation material” to “core energy-saving system”. With lower thermal conductivity and high closed-cell ratio, it effectively reduces cold loss and significantly improves overall insulation performance. In actual use, it lowers the operating frequency and load of the units, thereby reducing electricity consumption and extending equipment life.

Digital & Smart Cold Storage Cloud Control System

Upgrading from “equipment control tool” to “cold chain operation and maintenance management system”. By real-time collection and analysis of cold storage operation data, it enables centralized and visualized management of multiple stores and devices. The system monitors temperature, operating status, energy consumption, and other data in real time. Anomalies trigger early warnings and remote intervention, greatly reducing loss risks from failures. It also supports one‑click health diagnosis, remote on/off control, and data traceability analysis, reducing reliance on manual inspections and improving overall O&M efficiency.

The conclusion of the exhibition marks the end of one phase and the beginning of a new journey. Standing at the threshold of industry transformation, Fland will remain committed to:

• Going upward – continuously advancing products and technologies to build core capabilities in the mid-to-high-end cold chain;
  
  

• Going outward – accelerating market expansion and cooperation boundaries to serve more chain and international customers;
  
  

• Going into the future – redefining the value of cold chain systems through digitalization and intelligence.
  
  

From equipment to system, from delivery to operation & maintenance,Fland is walking a path of long-term commitment.

See you again at the 2027 Shanghai Hotel Supplies Exhibition.
