Shandong International Petrochemical Equipment and International Gas Equipment Exhibition

The Exhibition Value of the Shandong International Petrochemical Equipment Exhibition (CPEC)

• An annual industry highlight in China’s leading petrochemical-producing province, serving as a strategic hub connecting domestic and international markets for petrochemical equipment. Since its inception in 1999, the Shandong International Petrochemical Equipment and Gas Equipment Exhibition (CPEC) has been successfully held for 27 editions. Organized by the CPEC Organizing Committee and co-organized by the Shandong Petroleum and Chemical Equipment Management Association and Shandong Jinnuo International Convention & Exhibition Co., Ltd., the event enjoys the support of authoritative bodies such as the China City Gas Association and the China Equipment Management Association. Rooted in Shandong Province—the nation’s top chemical-producing region—CPEC benefits from a complete industrial chain spanning crude oil refining, basic chemical feedstocks, and fine chemicals. With the petroleum and chemical industries consistently ranking first nationwide in revenue, demand for petrochemical equipment remains robust. Under the theme “Green, Low-Carbon, Safe, and Efficient,” the exhibition is widely recognized within the industry as a barometer of China’s petrochemical equipment sector and a pivotal platform for companies seeking to expand into Shandong and the broader Bohai Rim market.
• A one-stop showcase covering the entire industry value chain. The exhibition features seven core sections: Petrochemical Equipment, Pipeline and Valve, Oil and Gas Storage & Transportation, Fluid Machinery, Industrial Explosion‑Proof, Instrumentation, and Gas Application & Technology Equipment. Exhibits span the full spectrum of the industry, including petrochemical machinery, chemical materials, oil and gas storage solutions, explosion‑proof systems, pumps, valves, pipelines, instrumentation, and gas‑related equipment. From high‑end petrochemical machinery to intelligent monitoring systems, and from pressure vessels to LNG storage and transportation facilities, exhibitors can engage in comprehensive interactions—from technology demonstrations and brand exposure to business negotiations.
• Precise matchmaking with key buyers and supply‑chain resources across Shandong and the nation. As a major energy province, Shandong hosts prominent oil and gas exploration and development entities, including the Shengli Oilfield and the Zhongyuan Oilfield, ensuring steady and healthy growth in resource exploration and development. The 2026 edition is expected to cover 40,000 square meters, bringing together nearly 800 exhibiting companies and attracting 60,000 professional visitors. The exhibitor base includes local Shandong giants such as Wanhua Chemical, Dongming Petrochemical, Jingbo Petrochemical, Qilu Petrochemical, and Binhua Group, alongside international buyers from over 30 countries and regions, including the United States, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, and South Korea. Over the past 27 years, cumulative attendance has exceeded 330,000, involving more than 200,000 purchasing entities.
• Unique value for Chinese enterprises: a strategic engine for deepening engagement with Shandong’s petrochemical cluster. As China’s leading chemical-producing province, Shandong is home to numerous world‑class petrochemical firms, generating substantial and stable demand for chemical equipment, pumps, valves, pipelines, and instrumentation. CPEC serves as a central platform for Chinese petrochemical equipment manufacturers to showcase proprietary technologies, connect with regional customers, and secure market orders. Concurrent with the exhibition, high‑level forums such as the Petrochemical Equipment Summit and workshops on high‑quality equipment management are held, addressing critical topics like the development of the “two new” industrial chains—new energy and new materials—and the high‑quality advancement of the petrochemical equipment sector, thereby providing enterprises with a strategic gateway to engage with government, align with customer needs, and stay abreast of policy trends.
• A vanguard for technological innovation and industry trends. At the show, hot topics include full‑lifecycle equipment management, digital transformation, energy‑carbon management systems, and corrosion‑prevention technologies. During the 2025 summit, Hangtian Zhikong presented a full‑lifecycle management solution; Gree Electric showcased cooling and heating equipment supporting the low‑carbon transition of the petrochemical industry; Heyuan Intelligent unveiled a factory‑based energy‑carbon management system; and Professor Meng Yang of Shandong University of Architecture shared a corrosion‑protection outsourcing model. Meanwhile, Professor Han Yunpeng of Shandong University delivered a keynote lecture on “Digital Twins: An Inevitable Path for Enterprise Digital Transformation.” These cutting‑edge technologies and concepts collectively underscore the clear trend toward “intelligentization, greenification, and service‑orientation” within the petrochemical equipment sector.
• Deep integration of high‑level forums and industry resources. Alongside the exhibition, a series of enriching events take place, including the Shandong Petrochemical Equipment Summit, the High‑Quality Equipment Management Forum, and technical seminars dedicated to the petrochemical equipment industry. At the 2025 forum, companies such as Hualu Hengsheng, Yankuang Lunan Chemical, and Lihua Yili Jin Refining shared their practical experiences in equipment management, offering benchmark cases that inform industry development. Numerous research institutions, trade media, and B2B platforms also participate deeply, providing exhibitors with comprehensive support to gain insights into industry policies, access technical resources, and expand sales channels.
• Jinan’s locational and industrial advantages. Held at the Jinan Shandong International Convention & Exhibition Center, the venue is strategically located in the provincial capital and at the heart of the Bohai Rim economic circle. Shandong continues to advance a modern energy system characterized by cleanliness, low carbon emissions, and safety, while simultaneously promoting the construction of underground gas storage facilities and LNG receiving terminals. Leveraging Shandong’s strategic position as China’s leading chemical and energy province, CPEC offers exhibitors a premier platform to connect with both regional and national petrochemical markets.
