IPB Shanghai

The International Powder & Bulk Solids Processing Conference & Exhibition (IPB) is China’s leading trade fair for technologies related to powders, granules, and bulk solids. Since its inception, it has established itself as a key fixture on the international exhibition calendar and is held annually at the Shanghai World Expo Exhibition & Convention Center. Thanks to its central location and excellent transport connections, this state-of-the-art venue offers ideal conditions for both exhibitors and professional visitors. The IPB is organized by NürnbergMesse China Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of the globally renowned NürnbergMesse Group.

With its thematic focus and technical depth, the IPB clearly stands out from other industrial trade shows. The event showcases cutting-edge technologies and solutions spanning the entire process chain of powder and bulk solids processing – from production, transport, storage, and dosing to particle analysis, measurement and control systems, as well as safety and environmental technologies. The exhibition targets a broad range of industries, including chemicals, pharmaceuticals, food, and mining, as well as metallurgy, ceramics, tobacco, and energy.

The range of exhibits includes mills, mixers, classifiers, pneumatic conveying systems, packaging technologies, particle measurement instruments, explosion protection systems, and emission control equipment. This offering is further enhanced by laboratory service providers, testing institutions, software developers, and engineering firms, making the IPB a comprehensive showcase of technological expertise.

A key highlight of the IPB is its extensive supporting program, featuring expert presentations, workshops, and panel discussions. These sessions address current developments, regulatory requirements, and forward-looking technologies. This strong focus on knowledge exchange makes the IPB much more than a product exhibition – it serves as a central hub for expertise and strategic networking.

Exhibitors include both regional companies and leading international players in process engineering, mechanical engineering, and measurement technology. Visitors typically consist of qualified professionals and decision-makers – such as engineers, plant managers, R&D specialists, buyers, and executives – who attend with a clear focus on finding targeted solutions for their production needs.

The IPB is the premier industry meeting point for powder and bulk solids technologies in China. With its international orientation, modern exhibition venue in Shanghai, and highly professional organization, it offers the perfect platform for successful business encounters and technical exchange.

The IPB takes place annually, and therefore for the 23rd time previsibly in August 2026 in Shanghai.
