Metalworking China 2025: Sheet Metal Processing, Laser Technology and Welding Solutions in Shanghai

Metalworking China 2025 is a leading international trade fair focused on sheet metal processing, laser technology, welding, and intelligent metal fabrication. As a specialized event under the umbrella of the China International Industry Fair (CIIF), it will be held from September 23 to 27, 2025, at the National Exhibition and Convention Center (NECC) in Shanghai. The exhibition will occupy over 50,000 square meters and is expected to host more than 700 exhibitors from China and abroad. It draws over 60,000 visitors from industries such as automotive manufacturing, construction, aerospace, electronics, and heavy machinery, offering a professional platform for exchange, procurement, and technological innovation.

The exhibition focuses on technologies and innovations in sheet metal fabrication, including laser cutting, bending, forming, punching, welding, and assembly systems. It also covers smart manufacturing solutions, production lines, CNC automation, robotics, digital monitoring, and industrial software for real-time production management. Green manufacturing, material efficiency, and energy-saving technologies are also key themes of the event, aligning with the growing demand for sustainable industrial practices.

Metalworking China 2025 brings together leading equipment manufacturers, OEM suppliers, laser system integrators, component producers, and industrial automation providers. It also attracts engineers, technical experts, R&D professionals, and decision-makers from end-user industries seeking to optimize their sheet metal production lines with high-efficiency, precision, and intelligent systems. The event serves as a networking hub for sourcing partnerships, exploring co-engineering opportunities, and engaging with the latest metalworking trends.

Exhibits include a wide range of sheet metal machinery and tools: fiber laser cutting machines, CO₂ laser systems, CNC press brakes, punching machines, welding robots, laser welding systems, automated sheet feeders, deburring equipment, stamping presses, and tooling systems. Also featured are smart factory solutions, cloud-based platforms, digital twin technologies, and energy-efficient drives — covering the entire workflow from design and programming to production and finishing.

The event will be held at the National Exhibition and Convention Center (NECC), one of Asia’s largest and most modern trade fair complexes, located in Qingpu District, Shanghai.
