The China International Sheet Metal Processing Exhibition (MetalFab China), established in 2007 by the China Forging and Pressing Association, is a core component of the “China International Metal Forming Exhibition” and one of its six sub‑exhibitions. It ranks among the world’s seven leading specialized exhibitions of its kind.

Held concurrently with the China International Metal Forming Exhibition (MetalForm China), the event was designed to meet the evolving needs of exhibitors and visitors alike. By enhancing the visibility of China’s forging, stamping, and sheet metal fabrication industries, it aims to establish the China International Forming Exhibition as a highly influential industry platform.

The China International Sheet Metal Processing Exhibition (MetalFab China) brings together leading companies specializing in sheet metal processing equipment and technologies, showcasing cutting-edge core technologies and products. It drives the sector toward greater chain integration, automation, and digitalization, enabling visitors from industries such as home appliances, elevators, building materials, hardware, kitchen equipment, automotive and motorcycle manufacturing, aerospace, and shipbuilding to gain a comprehensive, one‑stop overview of technological advances across the entire value chain. Sheet metal fabrication encompasses the forming of plates, profiles, and tubes, and also underpins much of the hardware industry, which relies on the processing of these materials to produce finished components.
