AWA Adds Refrigeration and Heat-Pump Components and Shifts to Wholesale-Only Sales
Armaturenwerk Altenburg (AWA), a BITZER Group company, is adding ball valves, solenoid valves, expansion valves, filter driers, and sight glasses to its range effective 1 June 2026 and consolidating all sales through wholesale partners.
Effective 1 June 2026, Armaturenwerk Altenburg (AWA) in Thuringia has broadened its product portfolio with components for refrigeration, air-conditioning, and heat-pump technology and is routing all sales through wholesale channels.
The new items — ball valves, solenoid valves, expansion valves, filter driers, and sight glasses — open up additional applications in those three technology segments and complement the company's existing range. AWA, a member of the BITZER Group since 2013, says the expansion responds to growing market demand and reinforces its position as a supplier of high-quality system components.
Dr Volker Simon, Plant Manager at AWA, stated that the portfolio expansion is a clear statement of the company's commitment to growth and innovation. He added that AWA looks forward to making its solutions more widely available in the future.
Alongside the product-line extension, AWA is intensifying its collaboration with wholesalers, consolidating its sales channel to a single wholesale model as of the same 1 June 2026 date.
