Adhesion & Bonding Expo Tokyo Chiba

Adhesion & Bonding Expo Tokyo is Japan’s leading trade fair for industrial bonding and joining technologies, serving as a key meeting point for professionals from research, development, and applied engineering. Held annually in autumn at the Makuhari Messe in Chiba near Tokyo—one of Japan’s most advanced exhibition centers—the event is organized by RX Japan Ltd., a subsidiary of the globally active Reed Exhibitions Group, renowned for its high-quality, specialized B2B trade shows and strong international networks.

The expo focuses on the latest advancements in adhesive and sealing technologies, offering companies a targeted platform to showcase innovative solutions to current industrial challenges. Modern adhesive systems and sealing materials for a wide range of applications—such as automotive and medical engineering—are among the core topics presented.

A particular highlight of the event is its emphasis on the forward-looking field of dissimilar material joining. The expo showcases innovative approaches to this critical area of manufacturing. Complementary technical conferences, expert presentations, and live demonstrations provide practical insights into advanced joining processes such as ultrasonic, friction, and diffusion welding, as well as into modern surface treatment technologies. Simulation tools and quality assurance systems for bond strength are also featured as part of the exhibition offering.

The expo is part of the Highly-Functional Material Week, a comprehensive trade fair platform that brings together multiple high-tech material exhibitions. This setup encourages cross-sector collaboration and strengthens the link between materials science, adhesive technology, and industrial applications.

Exhibitors and visitors represent key sectors such as automotive and aerospace engineering, electronics, construction, and medical technology. For materials engineers, product developers, and R&D teams, the event provides access to current market trends, valuable networking opportunities, and concrete solutions for their production needs.

In addition to Tokyo, the expo is held annually in Osaka and Nagoya as part of a rotating event schedule that ensures broad engagement with Japan’s industrial landscape and further extends the reach of the trade fair.

With its modern infrastructure, proximity to Narita International Airport, and excellent access to central Tokyo, Makuhari Messe offers optimal conditions for international business meetings, efficient networking, and a seamless trade fair experience.

More than just a conventional exhibition, Adhesion & Bonding Expo Tokyo is a highly specialized platform shaping the future of bonding and joining technologies at one of the world’s most innovative industrial hubs.

The Adhesion & Bonding Expo Tokyo will take place on 3 days from Wednesday, 12. November to Friday, 14. November 2025 in Chiba.
