ABOUT THE FAIR
R+T Asia is an annual trade fair that has established itself since its inception in 2005 as the leading platform for roller shutters, sun protection systems, and roller and garage doors in the Asia-Pacific region. Exclusively open to trade professionals, it brings together international industry experts, manufacturers, architects, and decision-makers from construction, interior design, and building technology in Shanghai. Organized by GLOBUS Events Limited in close cooperation with Messe Stuttgart, the event reflects high international standards and is integrated into a global trade fair network that includes R+T Stuttgart, R+T Turkey, and Sun Shading Expo North America.
The event is held at the National Exhibition and Convention Center (NECC) in Shanghai—at over 500,000 square meters, the world’s largest exhibition complex. Its central location in China’s economic hub offers excellent infrastructure and optimal connectivity to domestic and international transport routes, especially the airports and the city’s subway network.
R+T Asia follows a future-oriented approach that combines sustainability, innovation, and digitalization. It serves not only as a trading platform but also as a catalyst for technological advancement and emerging market trends. The International Window and Door Summit (IWDS), held during the event, features renowned experts discussing sustainable materials, energy-efficient technologies, and intelligent system solutions that are shaping the future of the window and door industry.
Another focal point is smart home automation. Exhibitors showcase advanced solutions such as automated sun protection systems, intelligent drives for doors and gates, and integrated control technologies that enhance the efficiency and comfort of modern living and working environments. The exhibition is further enriched by formats like Cadex and Material Matters, which spotlight current design and material trends, including innovative surfaces, textures, and creative concepts.
A particular highlight is the InnovAction Award, which honors outstanding product innovations and technological breakthroughs in the fields of sun protection and automation. Held concurrently with R+T Asia is HD+ Asia, a complementary event focused on home textiles, decorative fabrics, and wall coverings, offering additional value for professionals in the design and interiors sector.
With its strong focus on quality, innovation, and international relevance, R+T Asia has become an essential industry event—a key meeting point for anyone looking to stay informed about the latest developments and future trends in roller shutters, doors, sun protection, and building automation.
The R+T Asia takes place annually, and therefore for the 16th time previsibly in May 2027 in Shanghai.
