RAETTS Signs Strategic Cooperation Agreement with Solstice Advanced Materials at Chillventa 2026
Nuremberg, Germany | October 13, 2026 — RAETTS Group signed a strategic cooperation agreement with Solstice Advanced Materials during Chillventa 2026 in Nuremberg, Germany. The agreement marks an important step in strengthening dialogue between magnetic levitation oil-free compressor technology and advanced refrigerant expertise, creating a foundation for exploring future technical collaboration and international market opportunities.
Senior Executives Attend Strategic Signing Ceremony
The agreement was signed by Mr. Lee Hermitage, General Manager for Europe at Solstice Advanced Materials, and Mr. Wu Yanguang, Chairman and Founder of RAETTS Group.
The signing was witnessed by Mr. Adam Chang, General Manager for Asia at Solstice Advanced Materials, and Ms. He Jing, General Manager for Europe at RAETTS.
The participation of senior representatives from both organizations highlighted the importance of cross-regional communication, technical exchange, and international business development.
Held alongside Chillventa 2026, one of the leading international exhibitions for refrigeration, air conditioning, ventilation, and heat pump technologies, the signing brought additional significance to RAETTS’ participation in the event.
About Solstice Advanced Materials
Solstice Advanced Materials became an independent company following its separation from Honeywell in October 2025. Its business builds on the advanced materials operations and technical expertise developed over many years, with activities spanning refrigerants, specialty materials, and related technology solutions.
The company has expertise in refrigerant technologies, including low-global-warming-potential (low-GWP) refrigerants, which are relevant to the refrigeration and heat pump industry’s ongoing transition toward solutions with lower environmental impact.
Refrigerants and compressors are closely connected in system design. Their properties and operating characteristics influence system performance, reliability, efficiency, and application suitability. As refrigerant technologies evolve, compressor compatibility and application validation become increasingly important considerations.
The strategic cooperation agreement was signed between RAETTS Group and Solstice Advanced Materials, not Honeywell Group.
Exploring Collaboration Between Refrigerant and Compressor Technologies
RAETTS continues to develop its magnetic levitation oil-free compressor technology for refrigeration, heat pump, and related thermal management applications.
Magnetic levitation technology allows the rotor to operate without mechanical contact at the magnetic bearings. In combination with oil-free compression, it offers a technological approach worth evaluating for applications where system efficiency, oil management, and operating reliability are important.
Under the strategic cooperation framework, RAETTS and Solstice Advanced Materials will explore technical compatibility between next-generation refrigerants and magnetic levitation oil-free compressors, application validation, and opportunities arising from international market demand.
The two companies’ respective expertise provides a basis for technical dialogue and the evaluation of potential applications. Actual performance and compatibility must be assessed for the relevant refrigerant, compressor design, and system operating conditions.
The agreement establishes a foundation for further exploration. Specific projects, validation activities, and commercial arrangements will be subject to subsequent confirmation by both parties.
Connecting Chinese Innovation with Global Industry Expertise
For RAETTS, technological innovation and international cooperation are complementary parts of its development strategy.
The company is committed to advancing independently developed magnetic levitation compressor technology while engaging with global partners to understand changing technical requirements and application opportunities.
International cooperation can help connect product development with broader industry expertise, including refrigerant technologies, system integration, and regional market needs. For compressor manufacturers, these exchanges are particularly valuable as refrigeration and heat pump applications continue to evolve.
The agreement with Solstice Advanced Materials represents an opportunity to strengthen technical communication and explore how compressor innovation and refrigerant expertise may complement one another.
Looking Ahead
The signing at Chillventa 2026 marks a new chapter in the dialogue between RAETTS and Solstice Advanced Materials.
Looking ahead, the two companies will continue exploring potential areas of technical collaboration and international market development, with the aim of identifying practical opportunities for refrigeration and heat pump applications.
RAETTS believes that meaningful international development is built on independently developed technology, open communication, and long-term cooperation. By connecting Chinese innovation with global industry expertise, RAETTS looks forward to exploring new possibilities with partners around the world.
