Xi'an International Machine Tool Exhibition - CMES Hua Ji Exhibition

[Exhibition Overview]

    Leveraging Xi'an's solid industrial development foundation and riding on the national strategies of "Rise of Central China" and the "Belt and Road" Initiative, the exhibition seizes the opportunity presented by the rapid rise of Xi'an's advanced manufacturing industry. As a core province for China's military industry, Xi'an's manufacturing prowess is evident in major national projects such as Beidou, Chang'e, Tianwen, and Shenzhou. Companies like ZTE, Huawei, Samsung, as well as Tencent, Alibaba, and 360 have established factories and regional centres in Xi'an, forming mature industrial clusters in communication equipment, electronic components, integrated circuits, and smart terminals. In addition, Xi'an has achieved remarkable results in the new energy vehicle industry, earning the title of "China's No. 1 City for New Energy Vehicle Production" in 2022, putting "Made in Xi'an" in the industry spotlight. This exhibition is strategically planned and positioned in response to these developments.

    The exhibition features six themed zones covering metal cutting, metal forming, grinding and measuring tools, machine tool accessories, robotics and automation, and electrical discharge machining (EDM). With a 40,000-square-metre hall gathering over 600 brand exhibitors, it aims to establish itself as the most influential industrial exhibition benchmark in Central and Western China.

[Exhibition Positioning and Scale]

    CMES is currently the leading and most influential professional machine tool industry event in Central and Western China. Since its inception, it has been successfully held for multiple editions and is widely recognised by the industry as a barometer for the industrial machine tool market in the region, as well as a core battleground for "China's high-end machine tool equipment".

    The third edition in 2026 will expand to over 40,000 square metres, utilising four exhibition halls and bringing together more than 600 high-end brands from around the world, including Mazak, Beijing Jingdiao, Beiyi Machine Tool, Haitian Precision, Baoji Machine Tool, AMADA, Bodor Laser, and Neway. Professional visitor numbers are expected to increase by 38.95% compared to the previous edition, setting a new record. Professional visitors from application sectors such as aerospace, automotive manufacturing, electronic information, and the military industry account for over 60%, with a total of 172 professional buyer groups attending to negotiate orders, fully demonstrating the vibrant market demand of the regional industry.

[Exhibit Range]

    The exhibition builds a one-stop commercial service platform covering the entire machine tool industry chain, with exhibits spanning six core segments:

    The exhibition covers everything from standalone machines to complete production line solutions, from traditional processing to intelligent manufacturing, forming a complete industrial ecosystem. Concurrently, the Xi'an International Industrial Automation and Robotics Exhibition is held, enabling the on-site matching of "standalone machine procurement" and "production line upgrading" needs.

[Concurrent Industry Events]

    Closely following the three major industry development trends of "high-end equipment, aerospace, and intelligent manufacturing", the exhibition creates a technology exchange platform for deep integration of industry, academia, research, and application, and has hosted multiple high-calibre industry forums:

    - China Future Intelligent Manufacturing Summit cum Aerospace High-End Equipment Forum: Led by Academician Lu Bingheng of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and Xu Jifeng, Foreign Academician of the Russian Academy of Engineering, together with top experts from COMAC and AVIC First Aircraft Institute, conducting in-depth discussions on core topics such as aerospace technology breakthroughs and precision machining

    - AI and Robotics Empowering Intelligent Manufacturing Summit Forum

    - China · Xi'an New Energy Vehicle Core Components Manufacturing Innovation Conference

    The three conferences held over two days attracted 3,540 participants, with venues fully packed.

[Core Value of Participation]

    For domestic machine tool and related industry enterprises, this exhibition serves as a strategic gateway to expand into the Central and Western China market, connect with global industry resources, and showcase corporate innovation capabilities. Leveraging Xi'an's strategic location as a key node city of the "Belt and Road" Initiative, the exhibition deeply serves core industrial clusters including aerospace, military industry, new energy vehicles, and electronic information.

    For the 2026 edition, the exhibition has extended targeted invitations to 884 professional buyer groups from end-user industries, including Xi'an Aircraft Industry Group, AECC Aviation Power, Aero Engine Corporation, BYD, Fast Gear, and Shaanxi Automobile Group, achieving a deep match between high-end demand and high-end supply. Participating enterprises can leverage this platform to connect with core procurement resources in Central and Western China and seize the development opportunities presented by the high-end, intelligent, and green transformation of the industrial machine tool industry.
