China Foundry Festival – China (Shanghai) Foundry Expo

The China Foundry Expo (China Foundry Festival) was established in 1987 and is the only casting‑related trade show in China organized by a national-level industry association. Endowed with unparalleled authority, representativeness, foresight, and guidance, it is widely regarded as a barometer of the development of China’s foundry sector.

Adhering to the mission of “leading the industry, driving innovation, and serving the sector,” this edition of the China Foundry Expo (China Foundry Festival) boasts an overall exhibition space of nearly 120,000 square meters. It is expected to attract more than 1,000 renowned exhibitors from over 30 countries and regions, as well as hundreds of thousands of professional visitors participating through multiple online and offline channels. Over one hundred ancillary industry events will be held concurrently, continuously propelling the foundry industry toward high-end, intelligent, and green development, thereby establishing the event as a vital platform for exchange and collaboration in industrial transformation and upgrading.

In terms of exhibits, the China Foundry Expo (China Foundry Festival) will showcase premium castings made from various materials, casting and die‑casting equipment, raw and auxiliary materials, testing and environmental protection devices, molds and tooling fixtures, automation and intelligent systems, specialized casting robots, as well as cutting-edge technologies and equipment such as gravity casting, low-pressure casting, extrusion casting, and semi‑solid casting. The exhibition scope further extends to downstream applications—including machine tools, automotive components, construction machinery, rail transit, and power tools—creating a comprehensive and highly efficient industrial display ecosystem.

Concurrent with the expo, a diverse array of activities will take place, including the China Foundry Festival, the Annual Meeting of the China Foundry Association, new‑product launch events, a high‑end casting equipment technology forum, specialized seminars on advanced casting technologies, corporate information sessions and contract‑signing ceremonies, cultural events celebrating casting heritage, and expert Q&A sessions. These initiatives comprehensively address technical, market, managerial, and cultural dimensions, helping enterprises stay abreast of trends, connect with key resources, and expand collaborative opportunities.

With a focus on high‑quality development and guided by the needs of industry growth, the China Foundry Expo remains attuned to evolving market dynamics. By reaching across the entire country, it aims to create a premier gathering for the foundry sector—one that fosters smooth dual circulation, empowers new development, and drives renewed growth.

The Exhibition Value of the Shanghai Foundry Expo

• China Foundry Festival is one of the largest and most influential comprehensive events in the global foundry industry. Organized by the China Foundry Association, it has been successfully held for more than twenty editions since its inception in 1987, earning recognition as a leading indicator of China’s foundry sector development and a central platform for international exchange of foundry technologies. The exhibition brings together three flagship events—the China International Foundry Expo, the China International Die Casting Industry Exhibition, and the International Nonferrous and Special Foundry Exhibition—creating a carrier‑class show that spans the entire foundry value chain.
• The core value of participation lies in its unparalleled industry authority and its role as a platform covering the entire supply chain. Hosted by the China Foundry Association, a national-level trade association, this is the only foundry‑focused exhibition organized by such an entity, endowing it with unique authority, representativeness, forward‑looking vision, and guiding influence. The 23rd Foundry Expo in 2025 will be held in Tianjin, featuring nearly 80,000 square meters of exhibition space and bringing together over 1,000 exhibitors from more than 30 countries and regions. The 24th edition in 2026 is expected to expand to 120,000 square meters, attracting over a thousand companies and drawing hundreds of thousands of professional visitors.
• The expo establishes a one‑stop commercial platform covering the entire foundry value chain. Exhibits encompass castings, casting equipment, raw and auxiliary materials, quality‑inspection devices, molds, automation systems and ancillary equipment, environmental protection solutions, and specialized casting robots, while also extending into downstream sectors such as machine tools, automotive components, construction machinery, agricultural machinery, rail transit, and hardware products. At the 2025 event, themed zones will highlight high‑end casting equipment, premium raw and auxiliary materials, premium castings, and die‑casting and nonferrous casting, showcasing numerous “star products,” including Xiaomi Auto, which will make its debut at a foundry‑industry exhibition.
• The expo aligns with three major industry trends—new‑type productive forces, high‑quality development, and green casting—establishing a cutting‑edge hub for deep integration among industry, academia, research, and application. Concurrent with the expo, the China Foundry Association hosts its annual conference, forums on advanced casting equipment, specialized lectures on cutting-edge casting technologies, new‑product launches, corporate information briefings and signing ceremonies, cultural activities celebrating casting heritage, and expert Q&A sessions—totaling more than a hundred engaging industry events. The 8th China Foundry Festival in 2024 focused on “new‑type productive forces and accelerating high‑quality development in the foundry sector,” shaping a new paradigm for the evolution of the foundry value chain.
• For Chinese enterprises, this expo serves as a strategic gateway to expand into global markets, connect with international resources, and showcase technological prowess. The event draws professional visitors and buyers from around the world; in 2025, exhibitors from over 30 countries and regions will participate. At the show, Tianjin Zhongyi Ming Technology presented a universal robot for high‑rigidity cutting and polishing, with company executives noting that the Foundry Expo’s highly professional environment enables precise alignment with target customers. Wencan Group exhibited precision aluminum alloy castings for automotive applications, aiming to highlight its casting capabilities and strengthen collaboration with industry partners. Through this platform, participating companies can access global procurement networks and seize early opportunities in the intelligent, green, and international transformation of the foundry sector.
