What is more, a German hidden champion company celebrating its centenary is going to reveal its story of craftsmanship and inject top global manufacturing vitality into this exhibition. It is worth mentioning that the four outdoor exhibition halls not only provide cost-effective and customizable product solutions, but their accompanying outdoor "Industrial Bay Interactive Zone" will also be featured with a 100% winning gashapon machine, fun photo opportunities, and dedicated sessions for international buyer negotiations, becoming a new landmark for "trendy industrial fun" at the exhibition.
CeMAT ASIA: Logistics Transformation, Reconstructing the "New Infrastructure" of the Global Supply Chain
Currently, the logistics industry is rapidly transforming, and intelligentization, greening, and globalization have become the main development trends. New technologies such as artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things, and big data will continue to make significant contributions to the intelligent transformation of the logistics industry, further enhancing logistics efficiency and service quality. With increasing awareness of environmental protection, green logistics has become an inevitable choice for industry development, with the emergence of green technologies and products such as new energy vehicles and environmentally friendly packaging. The development of global trade has promoted continuous growth in cross-border logistics demand, and thus logistics companies must continuously improve their cross-border logistics service capabilities to adapt to global competition.
In this context, CeMAT ASIA 2025, taking "Digital Empowerment, Green Innovation, Intelligent Manufacturing Future" as its theme and held for the 24th time, will bring together elites of the global logistics industry, showcasing the latest technologies and innovative solutions and jointly exploring industry development trends. It was a huge success last year. This year's exhibition is expected to cover more than 80,000 square meters, with more than 900 domestic and foreign well-known companies participating. Exhibitors covering multiple sectors include system integration and solutions, conveying and sorting equipment, logistics robots and AGVs, and forklifts and accessories, comprehensively showcasing the latest R&D achievements and future development trends in logistics technology and equipment.
For instance, the main brand forum "CeMAT ASIA Innovation Salon" resumes this year in a new format, with three important industry topics: The first one, "New," revolves around the innovation of warehouse technology and, together with top institutions like Fraunhofer Institute for Logistics and China Storage & Transportation Association, it will interpret new trends in logistics technology, scenarios, and applications; the second one, "Chain," is all about supply chain change and upgrade, partnering with 4Flow and Shanghai Logistics Association to guide new ways of cost reduction, efficiency improvement, and collaborative optimization; while the third one, "People," presents the hottest topic this year: embodied intelligence and artificial intelligence. These three closely connected salon events are offering a forward-looking perspective and a high-energy intellectual feast. Besides, CeMAT ASIA is actively developing overseas markets this year and expects many international associations and buyer delegations to arrive from Germany, Italy, Turkey, Australia, Saudi Arabia, Malaysia, Indonesia, Israel, Japan, South Korea, Hungary, Russia, and other countries.
ComVac ASIA: Green Future, Empowering a New Revolution in Compressed Air
As a core component of the Industrial Fair Network2025 (TIFN 2025), ComVac ASIA, leveraging years of professional experience, has become a highly professional and influential brand exhibition in the domestic compressor industry. It not only provides companies with channels to showcase their strengths and expand cooperation, but also connects the upstream and downstream of the industry chain from a holistic perspective, promoting industrial synergy and technological integration. This year's exhibition, with its upgraded scale, focused technology, and diverse interactions, attracted nearly 350 leading domestic and international brands, including Atlas Copco, Boss, Denfos, Kobelco, Baode, Denair, Dongya Machinery, Hanbell Precision Machinery, IHI Sullair, Qiangshi, and Liutai Technology, with an exhibition area exceeding 30,000 square meters. Exhibits covered core areas such as air compressors, compressor components, special compressors, compressed air after-treatment equipment, vacuum pumps, and vacuum components.
Through physical displays, dynamic demonstrations, and technical analyses, the exhibition presented a panoramic view of cutting-edge achievements such as high-efficiency and energy-saving new compressors, intelligent compressed air systems, and high-precision vacuum equipment, directly showcasing the industry's innovative strength. Concurrently, with "Green Intelligent Manufacturing" as its core concept, the event will host over 30 high-level forums and thematic seminars, bringing together leading global experts and representatives from leading companies. The activities will delve into the key challenges facing the compressor industry under the "dual carbon" target, exploring how to achieve lean production processes and dual control of energy consumption and pollution emissions through technological innovation and management optimization. Attendees will have direct access to cutting-edge concepts and best practices, accurately grasp policy guidance and market opportunities, inject momentum into industrial upgrading, and accelerate the industry's transformation towards green, energy-saving, intelligent, and high-end manufacturing.
