The Value of Participating in the Shanghai International Lubricants Exhibition (Inter Lubric China)

• China’s largest and longest-running technical exchange and business platform in the lubricant industry: Since its inception in 2000, the Shanghai International Lubricants Exhibition (Inter Lubric China) has been successfully held for twenty-four consecutive editions. Co-hosted by China Petroleum Lubricant Company, Sinopec Lubricant Co., Ltd., and the Shanghai Branch of the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade, it stands as the most influential specialized exhibition in China’s lubricant sector. Over more than two decades, the event has evolved into an annual gathering where domestic and international lubricant companies conduct technical exchanges, promote their brands, and forge commercial partnerships, widely recognized within the industry as a barometer of China’s lubricant industry development and a gateway for global lubricant firms seeking access to the Chinese market.
• A one-stop platform covering the entire value chain: The exhibition encompasses every link in the value chain, from automotive lubricants and industrial lubricants to metalworking fluids, anti-rust materials, lubricant additives, base oils, greases, lubrication equipment, testing instruments, lubrication systems, and related services. In 2025, the show spanned 20,000 square meters, attracting over 460 exhibiting companies, with products covering the full spectrum from raw materials to finished goods. From engine oil composites to metalworking fluids, from base oils to various additives, exhibitors can seamlessly integrate technical presentations, brand exposure, and business negotiations under one roof.
• Precise connection with global key buyers and channel resources: Co-hosted by two major state-owned enterprises—China Petroleum Lubricant Company and Sinopec Lubricant Co., Ltd.—the exhibition benefits from deep industry connections and an extensive database of professional attendees. In 2025, the event is expected to draw over 28,000 professional visitors, including lubricant distributors, agents, automotive aftermarket buyers, and procurement decision-makers from industrial enterprises across all distribution channels. Concurrently held professional events, such as the China International Lubricants, Base Oils & Additives Forum (ILBAC), lubricant brand roadshows, and technical training sessions, provide exhibitors with strategic opportunities to engage face-to-face with industry decision-makers.
• Unique value for Chinese enterprises—connecting with top-tier resources and driving national market expansion: Inter Lubric China serves as a core platform for Chinese lubricant companies to showcase proprietary technologies, tap into state-owned enterprise resources, and secure nationwide orders. Co-hosted by PetroChina and Sinopec, the exhibition offers rare direct access to leading resources in the lubricant industry. As a domestic leader in lubricant additives, Jinzhou Kangtai Lubricant Additives Co., Ltd. presented its self-developed detergents, ashless dispersants, antioxidants, and corrosion inhibitors. Its engine oil composite product line is fully compliant with mainstream ACEA, ILSAC, and API standards, with commercial vehicle formulations meeting API CK-4, CJ-4, CI-4, and ACEA E-series requirements, making it one of the exhibition’s standout offerings.
• A vanguard for technological innovation and industry trends: At the show, emerging trends such as next-generation electric vehicle lubricants, eco-friendly additives, bio-based lubricants, and smart manufacturing technologies became focal points. IMCD, a key global partner of Lubrizol, highlighted its diversified solutions in lubricants and metalworking fluids, covering engine oils, hydraulic oils, gear oils, and metalworking fluids. IMCD currently represents premium brands like Lubrizol, FYS Fuyansheng, Cerflon, Momentive, and Matrica. Starting from the second quarter of 2025, IMCD’s collaboration with Lubrizol in the metalworking sector will expand nationwide, moving beyond South China. Meanwhile, Clariant introduced its new Hostagliss™ series, helping customers achieve their performance goals. These innovations collectively underscore the clear trend toward “greenification, premiumization, and internationalization” in the lubricant industry.
