BEWC 2025: Asia’s flagship exhibition for welding, cutting and surfacing technologies in Shanghai

BEWC 2025 (Beijing Essen Welding & Cutting) is one of the most influential exhibitions in Asia for the welding and cutting industry. Taking place from September 15 to 19, 2025, at the Shanghai New International Expo Centre (SNIEC), the exhibition will once again bring together global leaders in welding, cutting, and surfacing technologies. BEWC provides a professional platform for international companies to showcase the latest equipment, automation solutions, robotic systems, and Industry 4.0 technologies. The event covers more than 60,000 square meters of exhibition space and is expected to attract over 600 exhibitors and tens of thousands of professional visitors from industries such as shipbuilding, aerospace, automotive, energy, construction, and infrastructure. The event includes live demonstrations, expert panels, international forums, and B2B matchmaking opportunities for buyers and suppliers.

BEWC 2025 explores a comprehensive spectrum of technologies including arc welding, laser and plasma cutting, resistance welding, surfacing and cladding, as well as robotic welding and automated production lines. The show also emphasizes innovations in digital welding systems, data-driven monitoring, quality assurance, NDT (non-destructive testing), and smart manufacturing integration. Exhibitors will present environmentally friendly technologies and solutions that meet the increasing demand for energy efficiency and sustainable production.

The exhibition welcomes a wide range of participants including welding machine manufacturers, automation system providers, engineering firms, material suppliers, and software developers. Visitors include production engineers, quality control specialists, plant managers, industrial designers, technical procurement officers, R&D professionals, and international buyers seeking high-performance solutions for welding and joining. The expo serves as a business development hub for networking, technical exchange, and strategic cooperation in the Asian industrial market.

BEWC 2025 will showcase welding equipment, laser and plasma cutters, surfacing machines, industrial robots, power sources, wire feeders, welding torches, fluxes, wires, electrodes, welding helmets, and safety equipment. Specialized software, digital control panels, data acquisition tools, and smart diagnostics will also be exhibited. Companies will present comprehensive systems for factory automation and intelligent welding environments optimized for mass production and precision manufacturing.

The venue of BEWC 2025 is the Shanghai New International Expo Centre (SNIEC), located in the Pudong district. Known for its world-class infrastructure, SNIEC provides an optimal environment for large-scale industrial exhibitions. The venue offers advanced facilities for international exhibitors and convenient access via metro and highway, making it a strategic location for hosting BEWC 2025.
