Lahore Chapter Chairman Mr. Afzaal Malik in conversation with Engineering Post
This year’s HVACR Expo in Lahore presents a unique and heartening dynamic: while the event graces the city of Lahore, it is spearheaded by the Islamabad Chapter of the Pakistan HVACR Society (PHVACR). However, far from creating division, this arrangement has become a powerful testament to the collective spirit of the entire Society. Afzaal Malik, Chairman of the Lahore Chapter, emphatically underscores this national unity, positioning the expo not as a chapter-specific endeavor but as a unified national initiative where every regional branch is contributing significantly towards a common goal.
In an exclusive conversation with Engineering Post, Chairman Afzaal Malik radiated enthusiasm and solidarity. He extended his best wishes for the event while highlighting the unprecedented collaborative effort underpinning it. “The whole society has come together to make this expo a success,” Afzaal Malik stated, clearly defining the expo as a Society-wide mission. This spirit of cooperation transcends mere logistical support; it represents a shared vision for the industry’s advancement. Afzaal Malik further affirmed the Lahore Chapter’s wholehearted commitment, declaring, “We are standing with the theme of the expo this year and we are putting in our best efforts to make it a big success.” This alignment with the expo’s core message and the dedication of resources underscore Lahore’s proactive role in ensuring the event thrives on its home turf, despite the organizational baton being held by Islamabad.
Afzaal Malik was quick to shine a light on the individuals whose tireless work is translating this collective vision into reality. He expressed sincere appreciation for the commendable efforts of key members actively driving the expo forward. Mr. Syed Fakkih Iftikhar, Chairman Islamabad Chapter is working day and night to make this event memorable. “The members including Mr. Ahmad Naeem Chughtai, Mr. Bilal Zuberi and others have been playing a very active role and putting in commendable efforts to make this expo a success,” he noted. This recognition highlights the essential groundwork being laid by dedicated professionals across chapters, whose expertise and commitment are vital cogs in the expo machinery.
Beyond the immediate team effort, Lahore Chapter Chairman Afzaal Malik attributed the expo’s ongoing evolution and its promising trajectory to the visionary leadership at the very top of the PHVACR Society. “It is all due to the leadership skills of President of the Pakistan HVACR society Mr. Ramzan Sharif,” he asserted, “that this expo is growing and getting diversified bringing in new trends and is going to be a huge success.” He credited President Ramzan’s strategic guidance for the expo’s expansion, its increasing diversity in showcasing the latest industry innovations, and its confident path towards becoming a landmark event. This leadership, Afzaal Malik suggests, has been instrumental in fostering the collaborative environment that allows chapters to work seamlessly together for the greater good of the industry.
The 2025 HVACR Expo in Lahore, therefore, stands as more than just a trade show. It is a powerful symbol of national cohesion within Pakistan’s HVACR sector. It promises not only to showcase cutting-edge trends but also to solidify the Pakistan HVACR Society’s role as a collaborative force driving the entire industry forward, proving that when chapters unite under a strong national banner, the entire sector benefits. The success anticipated in Lahore is truly a success forged by Pakistan.
