The Shanghai International Fastener Industry Exhibition (Afastener) is China’s largest, most diversified, and most comprehensive international fastener event, covering the entire industry value chain. As both a barometer and a leading indicator for China’s fastener export trade, it also serves as a vital platform to showcase China’s achievements in opening up its fastener sector and to highlight the industry’s level of development.

Backed by the profound resources of the China General Machinery Parts Industry Association and its Fastener Branch, Afastener is recognized as one of the “Global Big Three” fastener exhibitions, with an influence comparable to the Stuttgart Fastener Fair in Germany and the Las Vegas Fastener Show in the United States. It is widely regarded within the industry as a benchmark for trends and a key hub for trade.

The exhibiting lineup features leading domestic and international companies, including Baosteel, Xingang Steel, Sijin Intelligent, Chunri Machinery, NedStroff, Qifeng Precision, and others. Purchasing delegations from Europe, North America, and Southeast Asia have confirmed their participation, while dedicated international procurement zones and business-matching sessions will be held on-site, enabling face-to-face interactions with global buyers such as Würth, Stanley, Hilti, and Bosch, thus establishing a robust global supply-chain nexus.

With its end-to-end exhibition framework and globally interconnected trade network, the Shanghai International Fastener Industry Exhibition (Afastener) will continue to serve as the industry’s annual gathering point, providing powerful support for companies seeking to gain insights into technological trends, expand supply-chain collaborations, and strategically position themselves in international markets.
