ABOUT THE FAIR
Paper Expo China is a leading international trade fair for the paper industry, held annually since its inception in 2004 at the prestigious Poly World Trade Center Expo (PWTC) in Guangzhou. This vibrant metropolis in southern China provides an ideal setting for the industry showcase, which is organized by the experienced Guangzhou AUCH Exhibition Services Co., Ltd. Specializing in industrial trade fairs, the company has established Paper Expo China as a central meeting point for the global paper sector.
With over 200 exhibitors and more than 15,000 professional visitors from both domestic and international markets, it ranks among the largest and most influential events of its kind in Asia. The fair stands out for its unique combination of technological expertise, international exchange, and forward-looking innovation.
The exhibition covers the entire value chain of paper production. It features the latest technologies and services—from advanced machinery for pulp and paper manufacturing, to innovative paper chemicals and specialty papers, all the way to sustainable solutions that are increasingly replacing plastics with paper. This trend is gaining even more relevance in the face of global environmental challenges. Products such as toilet paper, paper tissues, and other hygiene items also attract significant interest, both for consumer and industrial use.
A strong focus is placed on international collaboration, particularly with companies from Southeast Asia and Europe. The event serves as a showcase for China's innovation capabilities, with Shandong Province recognized as a traditional and economic hub of the paper industry. Meanwhile, Guangzhou’s status as a key industrial and exhibition center offers ideal conditions for professional dialogue.
The exhibition is accompanied by professional conferences and seminars, including the renowned Paper Industry Seminar of the Ten Chinese Provinces. These events address key future topics such as smart manufacturing, automation, and environmentally friendly production.
The audience primarily comprises professionals from mechanical engineering, chemicals, packaging, hygiene products, trade, and research. Manufacturers, suppliers, buyers, and decision-makers use this platform to discover innovations, strengthen business relationships, and identify market trends at an early stage.
The PWTC Expo Center impresses with its modern infrastructure, central location, and excellent accessibility—whether via Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport or the city’s metro and long-distance transport networks.
Paper Expo China is far more than a trade fair: it is a vital marketplace for innovation, sustainability, and economic cooperation in the global paper industry.
The Paper Expo China takes place annually, and therefore for the 22nd time previsibly in May 2027 in Guangzhou.
