CSFE EXPO Shanghai

The CSFE EXPO (China (Shanghai) International Forging Exhibition) is a highly specialized trade fair that has grown since its founding in 2005 into one of the most important platforms in the field of forging technology. Each year, it opens its doors at the Shanghai New International Expo Centre (SNIEC), attracting professional visitors and exhibitors from across the globe.

The event is organized by the China Chamber of Commerce for Metallurgical Enterprises (CCCMC), a leading industry association with strong ties to both national and international markets. The CSFE EXPO provides companies in the forging sector with a central stage to showcase new technologies, materials, tools, and services, while fostering exchange on current industry developments.

The focus lies on forging technology, flanges, rings, and state-of-the-art equipment. Exhibits include forged components for the automotive, aerospace, energy, medical, and construction industries, precisely manufactured flanges that meet international standards, as well as rings and connecting elements in a wide range of sizes and materials. The exhibition also maps the entire production chain – from raw material processing and tool and machine manufacturing to quality assurance and digitalized processes using CAD/CAM systems.

One of the key strengths of the CSFE EXPO is its comprehensive overview of the international market. Alongside modern open-die and closed-die forging machines, hydrostatic presses, and ring-rolling mills, the exhibition highlights energy-saving technologies, automation solutions, and testing instruments. The offering is further complemented by services such as machine maintenance, used equipment trading, consulting, and certifications (e.g., ISO/QS 9000). This specialized focus makes the event a premier destination for professionals seeking insights into innovation and investment opportunities.

Exhibitors represent a broad range of industries, including mechanical and plant engineering, automotive and aerospace manufacturing, energy technology, medical engineering, and defense applications. The visitor profile is equally distinguished and highly specialized: engineers, procurement managers, production leaders, developers, and decision-makers from both national and international companies form the core audience. For anyone active in precision metalworking and industrial series production, the CSFE EXPO is regarded as an essential industry meeting point.

As one of China’s leading industrial hubs, Shanghai offers ideal conditions for an international trade fair. With its excellent transport infrastructure – including an international airport, high-speed rail, and metro connections – the city is perfectly accessible. The SNIEC itself combines modern architecture with advanced technical facilities designed specifically for large-scale industrial exhibitions.

The CSFE EXPO is far more than a trade fair. It is a showcase of the future of forging technology and a key networking forum for professionals committed to quality, precision, and innovation. For those aiming to drive progress or open new business opportunities, this annual top event in Shanghai is simply indispensable.

The 21st edition of the CSFE EXPO takes place on 3 days from Tue., 02.12.2025 to Thur., 04.12.2025 in Shanghai.
