ABOUT THE FAIR
WIRE EXPO is recognized as the most important trade fair for the wire and cable industry in the Asian market. It is held annually by the China Chamber of Commerce for Metallurgical Enterprises (CCCMC), a key institution within China’s metallurgical sector. With this event, the organization provides a high-level platform for technological innovation, business exchange, and knowledge transfer.
Each year, the Shanghai New International Expo Centre (SNIEC) welcomes a large number of industry professionals and exhibitors from around the world. Located in the heart of Shanghai—one of Asia’s most dynamic economic hubs—the venue offers excellent accessibility and appeals to companies of all sizes. The fair provides direct access to decision-makers, developers, and procurement specialists across a range of industrial sectors.
WIRE EXPO Shanghai is distinguished by its focused thematic profile. At its core are innovative products and materials from the wire, cable, and rod industries, including specialized solutions for demanding applications. This offering is complemented by state-of-the-art manufacturing and testing technologies that cover all stages of the industrial value chain.
This combination of technological depth and practical relevance makes the fair a key meeting point for professionals in metallurgy, mechanical engineering, automotive manufacturing, construction, energy, and telecommunications. Exhibitors mainly represent the fields of wire production, machinery manufacturing, materials engineering, and surface technology. On the visitor side, the event attracts technical buyers, engineers, production managers, and executives seeking targeted innovations and partnerships.
A defining feature of the fair is its program of expert forums, technology showcases, and networking events, where industry leaders present their latest developments and discuss future trends.
Finally, the venue itself adds further value.
