Foshan International Machine Tool Exhibition - CMES China Machine Exhibition

【Exhibition Overview】

    This exhibition is a national-level platform showcasing the advanced development level and cutting-edge information of China's equipment manufacturing industry, as well as an authoritative window for traditional equipment manufacturing and new intelligent equipment manufacturing enterprises to present their development achievements and leading industrial technologies to global professional audiences. As a core manufacturing city in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, Foshan is positioned, according to its planning, to become a first-tier manufacturing city in China and a model city for advanced manufacturing. In order to meet the needs of the manufacturing industry structural upgrade in Foshan and the entire Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, the exhibition will provide comprehensive advanced machine tool equipment support for local manufacturing enterprises at all levels, with a focus on exhibiting industrial equipment in fields such as metal cutting, metal forming, grinding and measuring tools, machine tool accessories and moulds, as well as smart factories. It will provide advanced technical solutions for manufacturing enterprises in the Greater Bay Area across multiple sectors including ceramics, home appliances, 3C electronics, chemicals, building materials and hardware, foundry, and machinery, driving industry innovation and industrial upgrading.

【Exhibition Value】

    As the first professional machine tool exhibition of the spring season with significant influence in South China, this exhibition is a core component of China's machine tool industry chain exhibition series, having been successfully held for six editions. It has also received certification from the Global Association of the Exhibition Industry (UFI), making it an internationally renowned exhibition. Rooted in Foshan, a core manufacturing city in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, and closely aligned with the golden procurement window at the start of spring, it is widely recognised by the industry as the authoritative barometer for the spring strategic planning of South China's manufacturing industry, as well as a strategic platform for enterprises to seize the first-mover advantage for the entire year.

    The exhibition creates a one-stop procurement platform covering the entire industrial chain, featuring five core exhibition zones and a dedicated laser zone, fully covering the complete manufacturing chain of "processing - forming - measuring - auxiliary - automation". Exhibitors can achieve comprehensive connections from technology showcases and brand exposure to business negotiations.

    The exhibition enables precise matchmaking, directly connecting with core South China buyers and end-user industries, with a deep focus on three core application areas: furniture and home appliance parts manufacturing, new energy vehicle parts processing, and mould manufacturing. The 2026 exhibition is expected to attract over 40,000 professional visitors, all coming from core industries such as complete vehicles and parts, precision moulds, smart home appliances, and furniture hardware. A number of leading industry buyers have already confirmed group visits for procurement, allowing exhibitors to directly engage with the most purchasing-powerful customer base in South China for efficient business connections and market expansion.

    For domestic exhibitors, the exhibition serves as a strategic engine for establishing a strong presence in the manufacturing hub of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area. Leveraging Foshan's complete industrial cluster advantages, it opens up a core channel for equipment enterprises to connect with the South China market. Concurrently with the exhibition, multiple high-end industry forums will be held, featuring in-depth discussions on hot topics such as intelligent transformation and digital transition, liquid-cooled machining, and new energy parts, helping exhibitors gain insights into the intelligent and digital upgrading trends of South China's manufacturing industry and seize market opportunities in advance.

    The exhibition also serves as the frontier for technological innovation and development trends in the industry. Advanced technologies such as intelligent AI grinding machines, high-precision industrial measuring equipment, and 5-axis simultaneous machining centres will all be exhibition highlights. At the 2026 exhibition, numerous leading brands will bring their latest products and technologies, with the overall exhibits showing an upgrading trend towards high-end and intelligent solutions, closely aligned with industry development hotspots, providing breakthrough development solutions for machining enterprises and helping them grasp the direction of industry transformation.

【Advantages of the Venue Location】

    This exhibition is held at the Foshan Tanzhou International Convention & Exhibition Center, located at the natural crossroads for equipment procurement in the Pearl River Delta.
