ATC Shanghai International Automotive Seating Technology Exhibition Shanghai

The ATC Shanghai International Automotive Seating Technology Exhibition is an international trade fair dedicated to automotive seating systems, innovative seating technologies, components, materials and manufacturing processes. Organised annually by the Automotive Technology Center (ATC), the event takes place at the Shanghai New International Expo Centre (SNIEC) in Shanghai, China. Open exclusively to trade visitors, the exhibition brings together vehicle manufacturers, suppliers, technology developers and industry experts. It provides a platform for exploring the latest developments and technological advances in automotive seating, exchanging expertise and establishing international business contacts.

The exhibition focuses on four key themes: intelligence, comfort, lightweight design and safety, all of which play a central role in the development of modern automotive seats. Exhibits cover complete seating systems, seat frames, seat tracks, adjustment mechanisms, headrests and safety-critical structural components. The range also includes ergonomic seating solutions, padding, foams and innovative upholstery and surface materials. Other areas feature power seat adjustment systems, electric motors, sensors and intelligent electronic control systems. The exhibition also showcases lightweight materials, advanced manufacturing equipment, automation solutions, and production and testing technologies for automotive seat manufacturing. Particular emphasis is placed on intelligent seating functions, ergonomic comfort systems, weight-optimised designs and advanced safety technologies.

Exhibitors primarily represent the automotive and automotive supply industries, mechanical and plant engineering, electronics, materials engineering, and the plastics, foam and textile industries. Key visitor groups include development engineers, design engineers, product managers, purchasing professionals and decision-makers from international vehicle manufacturers and their suppliers. The event also attracts specialists in automotive interiors, research and development, quality assurance and production.

Highlights include presentations of next-generation intelligent seating systems and innovative material concepts. Accompanying technical conferences and industry forums provide insights into the latest technological developments and encourage knowledge exchange between research institutions and industry. By combining product showcases, technical expertise and face-to-face networking, the exhibition creates opportunities for establishing new business relationships and partnerships. The event forms part of the wider ATC Shanghai International Automotive Technology and Parts Exhibition, which brings together several concurrent trade shows covering different areas of automotive engineering. These include chassis systems, powertrain technology, thermal management, vehicle testing, smart manufacturing and lightweight design. The seating exhibition is therefore part of a comprehensive event programme spanning a broad range of technologies across the automotive industry.

The venue is the Shanghai New International Expo Centre (SNIEC) in the Pudong district, one of Shanghai's leading international exhibition centres. Located at 2345 Longyang Road, the venue offers modern facilities and convenient access from both the city centre and Shanghai's international airports. Visitors can reach the exhibition centre via Metro Line 7 to Huamu Road station or through the Longyang Road transport hub, which provides connections to several metro lines and the Shanghai Maglev train, making travel convenient for both domestic and international visitors.

The ATC Shanghai International Automotive Seating Technology Exhibition will take place on 3 days from Thursday, 03. June to Saturday, 05. June 2027 in Shanghai.
