The new edition of SFCHINA will take place with a hybrid format from 16th
to 18th November 2021.
Preparations are well underway for the 34th edition of SFCHINA, that will open its doors for visitors – both in person and online – on 16-18 November 2021 at Hall E1 of the Shanghai New International Expo Centre (SNIEC). The fair will develop over 11,000 m2 with more than 190 exhibitors form 15 countries, divided into three exhibition zone: Electroplating & Finishing Technology, Environmental, Safety & Protection and Coating Applications & Coating Products.
Despite the constrained market growth due to COVID-19 pandemic, the finishing industry in Asia is thriving, especially in the construction and automotive sector in India and China. SFCHINA is one of the few Asian industry exhibitions to take place as a live, physical event this year, as it aims to keep industry players connected and bring more business opportunities. However, the fair will also be accompanied with an Online Show, bringing exhibitors and visitors together and helping them to match businesses in a hybrid format.
With the finishing industry constantly evolving in terms of technologies, management and manufacturing, SFCHINA will address several topics during the Automotive Coating & High Value-Added Plating Solutions Forum, such as smart coating technologies under "Dual Carbon Goals" and high value-added electroplating technologies and equipment. The events can be attended in-person, online or as playback free of charge afterwards.
The Online Show, which will stay online form 10th November to 10th December 2021, will hosts all physical exhibitors and those that have chosen to exhibit only virtually. Moreover, it will include chat rooms and a new video-meeting feature to allow visitors to schedule one-to-one video meeting with exhibitors online.
