Global Foundry Sourcing Conference FSC 2026

The 35th Global Foundry Sourcing Conference FSC 2026 is a specialized international procurement conference focused on connecting global buyers with verified casting manufacturers and suppliers. Established in 2007, FSC has grown into a high-level sourcing platform that combines on-site business meetings with year-round online procurement services. The conference is designed exclusively for professional participants and operates under a strict pre-registration and qualification system, ensuring a high concentration of decision-makers and procurement executives. FSC 2026 will take place in Shanghai and will continue its mission of facilitating efficient, transparent, and high-quality cross-border cooperation within the global foundry supply chain.

FSC 2026 focuses on practical sourcing outcomes rather than traditional exhibition formats. The conference emphasizes direct procurement matchmaking between international buyers and foundry suppliers, covering a wide range of casting products, materials, and manufacturing capabilities. Key topics include global sourcing strategies, supplier qualification, cost optimization, quality control, and long-term partnership development. By integrating conference sessions with structured one-to-one business meetings, FSC creates an efficient environment for negotiations, supplier evaluation, and contract discussions, addressing real procurement needs of global buyers.

Participants of FSC 2026 include overseas buyers, multinational corporations, Tier-1 and Tier-2 industrial purchasers, as well as qualified foundry manufacturers from China and other production regions. Buyer selection is conducted under strict review standards, with a strong focus on international and foreign-funded buyers to ensure sourcing relevance and transaction quality. Suppliers represent various segments of the foundry industry, including ferrous and non-ferrous castings, precision components, and advanced manufacturing solutions, creating a highly targeted professional environment.

The conference covers a broad range of foundry-related products and services, including iron and steel castings, non-ferrous castings, precision components, industrial parts, and customized manufacturing solutions. In addition to physical products, FSC 2026 highlights sourcing services, digital procurement tools, supplier evaluation systems, and cross-border trade support solutions. This integrated approach allows buyers to assess not only production capabilities but also supplier reliability, compliance, and long-term cooperation potential.

FSC 2026 will be held at the Shanghai Guangda International Hotel, a well-established venue for high-level international conferences. The location provides convenient access for domestic and international participants and offers professional conference facilities suitable for closed-door negotiations, formal presentations, and private business meetings. The venue supports the conference’s positioning as a focused, professional, and results-oriented sourcing event rather than a mass exhibition.

The conference is organized by the FSC Casting Procurement Platform in cooperation with Qingdao Saixi Consulting Co., Ltd. The organizers have extensive experience in operating international procurement platforms for the foundry industry and have built a strong reputation based on professionalism, credibility, and long-term industry trust. Over the years, FSC has served more than 120 global Fortune 500 buyers and continues to play an important role in supporting the internationalization and upgrading of China’s foundry industry.
