Organised by the China Sewing Machinery Association, it covers software, pre-sewing and cutting, sewing machines, automated units, embroidery, post-sewing, logistics, motors, electronic control, tools, accessories and laser/printing. It is one of China’s most specialised events for garment-factory modernisation and textile-machinery sourcing.

Production software, spreading and cutting, sewing machines, automation, sewing units, embroidery, ironing and finishing, logistics, motors and control, spare parts, tools, laser and printing.

Sources and verification

Is this trade fair worth visiting?

✓ Yes

Yes, especially if you source Industrial Machinery, Textiles & Fashion, want to compare samples in person or negotiate with several manufacturers in a few days.

— Not necessarily

Probably not if your product belongs to a different sector than Industrial Machinery, Textiles & Fashion, you already have verified suppliers and only need repeat orders, or the potential volume does not justify the trip.

Tips for visitors

Bring target operations, fabrics and cycle times. Request demonstrations with your materials, spare-parts lists, servo/controller details, software compatibility, manuals, installation and support. For automated lines define FAT, productivity and acceptance criteria before paying the balance.

Getting around

Shanghai has one of the world's largest metro networks. SNIEC is mainly served via Longyang Road/Huamu Road and NECC via East Xujing/National Exhibition and Convention Center, depending on the entrance. The Maglev links Pudong Airport with Longyang Road in about eight minutes; continue from there by metro or taxi.
On local networks in mainland China, some international services may be restricted or unavailable. If you rely on them for work, prepare a connectivity solution that complies with current rules before travelling and do not depend on a single app. Hong Kong operates under a different internet regime.
