CHINAPLAS Shenzhen

CHINAPLAS is one of the world’s premier trade fairs for plastics and rubber technology. Since its inception in 1983, it has established itself as a key industry event. Held annually, the exhibition alternates between Shanghai, Shenzhen, and Guangzhou—three of China’s major economic hubs—attracting professionals and exhibitors from around the globe. As a dedicated B2B trade show, CHINAPLAS provides an exclusive platform to explore the latest technological advancements, products, and services in the industry.

The event is organized by Adsale Exhibition Services Ltd., a renowned exhibition organizer that has been hosting international trade fairs and conferences across various industries since 1978. Over the years, CHINAPLAS has evolved into a major innovation platform, significantly contributing to the internationalization and advancement of China’s plastics and rubber industry.

One of CHINAPLAS' distinguishing features is its comprehensive thematic structure, covering all key areas of the sector. This includes cutting-edge machinery and equipment such as injection molding machines, extrusion technologies, 3D printing solutions, and recycling systems, as well as high-precision tools and molds. The exhibition also highlights raw materials and advanced materials, including bioplastics, high-performance composites, recycled plastics, additives, and pigments. Visitors can explore groundbreaking developments across various industries, including automotive, electronics, packaging, and construction, while also expanding their professional networks.

Another key highlight is the structured zoning of the exhibition, which ensures targeted navigation for attendees. In addition to specialized areas for machinery, materials, and recycling technologies, there are dedicated zones for smart manufacturing, testing equipment, and thermoplastic elastomers and rubber. This clear segmentation enables companies to showcase their innovations effectively and helps industry professionals stay ahead of emerging market trends.

Thanks to its continuous growth, CHINAPLAS has become an essential meeting point for professionals worldwide. Beyond serving as a hub for knowledge exchange and business opportunities, it offers a compelling glimpse into the future of the plastics and rubber industry, with a strong focus on sustainable materials, digital manufacturing solutions, and intelligent production processes.

On the whole the organisers welcomed on the 4 days of the fair, from 23. April to 26. April 2024, about 4000 exhibitors and 250000 visitors on the CHINAPLAS in Shanghai.

The CHINAPLAS takes place annually, and therefore for the 38th time previsibly in April 2026 in Shenzhen.
