International Fastener Show China – IFS China Shanghai 20. – 22. May 2026 | Trade fair for fasteners, fastening technology, and related machinery

July 25, 2025

The International Fastener Show China (IFS China) is an annual trade fair and has become one of the most significant global events in the fastener and fixing technology industry. Since its debut in 2014, it has brought together leading companies, professional visitors, and industry experts from around the world at the prestigious Shanghai World Expo Exhibition & Convention Center – located in the economic heart of Shanghai. The venue’s modern architecture, central location, and excellent infrastructure provide ideal conditions for this high-profile industry event.



Open exclusively to trade professionals, the exhibition aims to serve as a specialized yet comprehensive platform for global exchange on fasteners and fastening technologies. It is organized by an experienced consortium comprising the China General Machine Components Industry Association, the China Fastener Industry Association, Shanghai Afastener Exhibition Co., Ltd., and Hannover Milano Fairs Shanghai Ltd. This partnership highlights the show’s international scope and organizational expertise.

IFS China is unique in Asia for covering the entire supply chain of the fastener industry – from manufacturing and testing to assembly. The event focuses on both standard products and specialized solutions for key sectors such as automotive, aerospace, construction, mechanical engineering, and energy. Exhibits include high-quality screws, nuts, bolts, rivets, and complex fastening systems, all essential for modern industrial production.
A strong emphasis is placed on technological innovation. Exhibitors showcase state-of-the-art manufacturing and processing technologies, heat treatment methods such as decarburization and hydrogen embrittlement testing, as well as advanced quality assurance systems for inspection and measurement. Tools, dies, and consumables for production also play a central role. The exhibition is further complemented by specialized services aimed at optimizing the entire value chain.
IFS China stands out through its combination of innovation, international reach, and technical depth. It is not only a platform for new products but also a strategic networking hub for industry leaders. Companies gain valuable insights to enhance competitiveness, improve production processes, and access new markets in a rapidly evolving environment.
