On October 27, the four-day Industrial Fair Network 2023 came to an end at the Shanghai New International Expo Centre (SNIEC), with ten major upstream and downstream industry exhibitions presented together. After a two-year hiatus, this annual industrial event has returned once again. Nearly 3,200 exhibitors made a high-profile appearance in an exhibition area of over 230,000 square meters. International pavilions from Germany, Italy, and other countries also arrived as scheduled.

During the exhibition, Dr. Koeckler, Chairman of the Managing Board of Deutsche Messe AG, stated, "International professional exhibitions not only facilitate the rapid realization of new products and technologies, but also promote the acceleration, upgrading, and iteration of industries. In the field of manufacturing, China has achieved revolutionary results in many areas in recent years. With new ideas and approaches towards intelligent manufacturing, industrial upgrading, digitization, unmanned operation, and dual carbon economy, we can see that the Chinese market is full of vitality."

According to relevant authorities, Pudong's primary venues have hosted a total of 157 exhibitions from January to September this year, covering an area of 6.502 million square meters. The exhibition area has recovered to 92% of the same period in 2019 before the pandemic, accounting for 48.2% of the total in the city.

This year's Industrial Fair Network has demonstrated the robust recovery of the Pudong New Area and Shanghai's exhibition industry with a flawless comeback.

Driven to be SMART, PTC ASIA Showcases Excellent Product and Precision Processing 
2023 is the starting year for the comprehensive implementation of the spirit of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, and it is also a crucial year for the implementation of the "14th Five-Year Plan". The 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China has injected new momentum and vitality into the revitalization of China's industrial economy. Against this background, the PTC ASIA, focusing on industrial basic components and intelligent manufacturing, is of special significance, said Xudong Du, Chairman of China Hydraulics Pneumatics & Seals Association (CHPSA), one of the hosts.

This exhibition has once again proven its exceptional appeal on a grand scale. With over 1,700 companies exhibiting high-end equipment, core components, and solutions in a venue that covers nearly 100,000 square meters, it is clear that the exhibition is highly sought-after. The exceptional exhibitors of the industry include HAWE, ATOS, Kawasaki, KTR, Poclain, Hengli, Taifeng, Huade, YUCI, Liyuan, JELPC, EMC, STNC, Freudenberg Dichtomatik, Schaeffler, Timken, C&U, LYC, SEW, Donly, Tailong, GNORD, NGC, JIE, WANSHSIN， Jinlong, ABLE, Fangli, CHOHO, Hengjiu, CPT, SCS, Gates and SIT INDEVA etc. PTC ASIA not only serves as a benchmark platform for trade, communication, and win-win collaboration in the high-end manufacturing industry, but also provides visitors with a golden opportunity to discover new products and evaluate market trends. This year, the exhibition has reached a new level with the expansion of the venue to include the OE2 and OE3 halls. In the “Special Exhibition Area for Precision Processing” exhibition area, nearly 20 companies showcased a variety of “pioneering” and “first-time” precision machining equipment, witnessing the power of precision machining equipment and the hope for the future of the industry.

Augusto Di Giacinto, Trade Commissioner of Italian Trade Agency (ITA) Shanghai Office, said that Italy is the fourth largest export country for China, and many of the Italian companies participating in this exhibition have already established close business contacts in China, while others are newly entering the Chinese market and hoping to expand new cooperation opportunities.

Mr. Jin Kui, Business Manager of the Industrial Chain Systems Foreign Trade Sales Division of Qingdao Choho Industrial Co., Ltd., gave the feedback as follows: “PTC ASIA holds great significance for us. As we are all aware, in the past two years, cooperation and communication within the industry have been limited due to various uncertain factors. Choho Industrial aims to take advantage of this exhibition to engage in more meaningful face-to-face communication with industry colleagues, customers, and partners. Together, we can explore the future development direction and technological trends of the industry.”

Many exhibitors, including well-known domestic hydraulic companies, generally believe that PTC ASIA is a grand event in the hydraulic industry. It is their hope that through such a communication platform they can display their new products to customers and discuss future development directions with their peers. PTC ASIA allows enterprises to access more overseas customers, laying the foundation for internationalization strategy.
