SFCHINA 2026

About the event

Surface finishing technologies

SFCHINA 2026 is a trade exhibition for professionals working with electroplating, finishing and other surface-treatment technologies. Its scope includes not only coatings, but also related equipment, engineering and services, and products designed for special functions.

Surface treatments can help meet functional requirements for materials and components. Visitors can use the exhibition's subject areas to compare process approaches, equipment categories and potential applications, and to identify topics for further professional evaluation.

Two exhibition zones

The official 2026 release identifies two zones: Zone 1, Electroplating & Finishing Technology; and Zone 2, Coating Equipment, Engineering & Services | Special Function Coating Products. The layout distinguishes process technologies from equipment, engineering services and specialist coating products while showing how these areas relate across the industry.

The exhibition provides a professional setting for exploring the sector and comparing solutions by purpose and technological role. The 2026 exhibitor catalogue is available on the official website; no programme details are stated here.

The SFCHINA series

The official release says the SFCHINA series began in 1983. The 2026 edition focuses on surface-finishing fields and is held in Guangzhou.
