ASE China Shanghai

The ASE CHINA – China Adhesives and Sealants Expo – is Asia’s leading trade fair for the adhesives and sealants industry. Held annually in September at the prestigious Shanghai New International Expo Centre (SNIEC), it is a trade-only event offering free admission and a highly specialized platform for professionals, manufacturers, distributors, and decision-makers across the entire value chain – from raw material suppliers to machinery manufacturers and application engineers.

The event is organized by the CCPIT Sub-Council of Chemical Industry – a sub-branch of the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade – and the China Adhesives and Tape Industry Association. Both institutions bring deep industry expertise and ensure the fair’s high technical standards.

ASE China has established itself as a central innovation hub for adhesive and sealant technologies – not only within China but increasingly on a global scale. As the country’s only trade show of its kind, it showcases a wide range of solutions, from adhesives and sealants to PSA tapes and protective films. The focus is on forward-looking technologies and sustainable developments, including low-VOC, bio-based, and biodegradable adhesives, energy-efficient production processes, and lightweight construction solutions.

A defining feature of the fair is its comprehensive representation of the industrial process chain. Exhibits include basic chemical materials such as resins, polymers, catalysts, fillers, and additives, as well as ready-to-use products for diverse industries including construction, automotive, packaging, and electronics. The exhibition is complemented by state-of-the-art application and production systems – from precision dosing and mixing units to automated application technologies and complete manufacturing lines for tapes and labels. Testing and analytical equipment for quality assurance rounds out the portfolio, underscoring the technological depth of the event.

The exhibition extends beyond traditional application areas, offering specialized solutions for a wide range of industries – from medical technology and food packaging to wind energy and aerospace. This breadth provides deep insights into industry-specific challenges and emerging technological trends.

A particular emphasis is placed on sustainable innovation. Central themes include new materials and application techniques, along with the reduction of emissions and energy consumption – topics that are gaining increasing relevance across the global industry. ASE China sees itself not only as a showcase for technological excellence but also as a driving force for environmentally conscious industry development.

With the SNIEC in Shanghai, the event benefits from a modern, internationally recognized exhibition venue with excellent accessibility and top-tier infrastructure. As China’s economic powerhouse and a major logistics hub, Shanghai offers ideal conditions for international business, knowledge exchange, and technological networking.

ASE China is far more than just a trade show – it is the key industry event for anyone looking to actively shape the future of adhesives and sealants.

For the twenty-eighth time there is the ASE China on 3 days from Wed., 17.09.2025 to Fri., 19.09.2025 in Shanghai.
