As the global chemical industry accelerates its shift toward high-end and green development, foreign equipment suppliers are steadily deepening their presence in China — localizing manufacturing bases, moving R&D and services closer to customers, and evolving from single-product distribution to full-chain engagement with the Chinese market. In parallel, specialized trade shows in China have become key touchpoints for foreign brands to reach EPC contractors, end users and global buyers.

CTEF — the China International Chemical Technology & Equipment Fair — brings together over 1,000 leading companies from more than 20 countries and regions, including Germany, the UK, the US, South Korea and Japan, across a 70,000-square-meter international showcase. It has become a core platform where chemical equipment companies at home and abroad connect global resources and expand trade both domestically and internationally.

Approved by the Ministry of Commerce of the People's Republic of China and certified by UFI (The Global Association of the Exhibition Industry), CTEF 2027 — the China International Chemical Technology & Equipment Fair — organized by Zhenwei International Exhibition Group and Guangzhou Zhenwei International Exhibition Co., Ltd., will be held on June 3–5, 2027 at the Shanghai New International Expo Centre, showcasing cutting-edge technologies and innovations across the full chemical equipment supply chain. To date, leading foreign names such as Dalian Hermetic Pump Co., Ltd., Shanghai GT Chemical Equipment Co., Ltd., Mega-tek Instruments (Chengdu) Co., Ltd., Greenock Automation Engineering Nantong Co., Ltd. and PILLER Fan Trading (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. have confirmed their participation — a long-standing commitment that is the most straightforward vote of confidence in the CTEF platform.

Continuous participation is the most powerful endorsement.

Over the years, CTEF has watched long-standing industry veterans continue to deepen their commitment, while welcoming promising newcomers — some anchored firmly in regional markets, others returning from across the seas. Behind this roster lies foreign companies' long-term confidence in China's chemical equipment market, and above all, their sustained recognition of CTEF's supply-demand matching efficiency and platform professionalism.

CTEF — Continuous Participation of Selected Foreign Companies

Five renowned foreign companies — each remarkable in its own way.

◆ Hermetic Eight consecutive editions — exhibiting across Shanghai, Chengdu and Xinjiang

Dalian Hermetic Pump Co., Ltd., a joint venture established in 1997 between German Hermetic Pumpen and Danai Pump Industry, is a leading manufacturer of sealless canned motor pumps and magnetic drive pumps. Having exhibited at CTEF since the 2011–2015 editions, it has attended eight consecutive editions since 2023, with a footprint spanning Shanghai, Chengdu and Xinjiang — the most editions and the widest coverage of any foreign exhibitor on this list. Its journey from a standard booth to multi-city participation is a vivid reflection of CTEF's own evolution from a regional event into a nationwide, multi-city platform.

◆ GT Chemical Equipment Four consecutive Shanghai editions — steadily deepening its presence in East China

Shanghai GT Chemical Equipment Co., Ltd. (brand: GT), a wholly-owned enterprise with Hong Kong/Macau/Taiwan investment, was established in 2015 in the Shanghai Free Trade Zone by CHRISTIAN HUG. Specializing in high-performance anti-corrosion equipment made of impregnated graphite, it is a professional manufacturer of products including graphite heat exchangers. A long-time CTEF exhibitor, GT has attended four consecutive Shanghai editions from 2023 to 2026, treating CTEF as a fixed base for expanding into the East China and international markets, and will exhibit again in 2027.

◆ Mega-tek Instruments Three consecutive Chengdu editions — moving to Shanghai in 2027 for nationwide expansion

Mega-tek Instruments (Chengdu) Co., Ltd. was initiated by the US-based Mega-tek technical team and established with investment from Hong Kong Mega-link International Development Company. It specializes in process instrumentation manufacturing and the localization of imported instruments. The company attended three consecutive Chengdu editions from 2024 to 2026, anchored in Chengdu and radiating across Southwest China; in 2027, it will step out of the southwest for the first time to debut at the Shanghai edition, launching its nationwide expansion on a bigger stage.

◆ Greenock Third consecutive participation since its 2025 debut — steadily deepening its partnership with the show

Greenock Automation Engineering Nantong Co., Ltd. is a fluid control company with a US brand background, specializing in industrial control valves including pneumatic diaphragm control valves and triple-offset metal-seated butterfly valves. After a well-received debut in 2025, it will return for a third consecutive year in 2027, establishing itself as an emerging force in the CTEF exhibitor lineup.

◆ PILLER Returning officially in 2026 after exhibiting more than a decade ago — back again in 2027

PILLER Fan Trading (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. is the China arm of Germany's PILLER, a global leader in MVR and industrial blowers. PILLER's connection with CTEF spans more than ten years; it made its official return in 2026 and will exhibit at the Shanghai edition again in 2027, reuniting with industry customers.

On-site Feedback from Exhibitors and Buyers

Beyond foreign companies returning edition after edition, what counts is the tangible results delivered on the show floor. Shortly after CTEF 2026 concluded, the organizing committee received genuine feedback from exhibitors and buyers.

Fuheng Automatic Control Valve: At the CTEF Shanghai show, the owner of a Bangkok valve factory bought samples on the spot; after the show, Thai customer ic (Thailand) Co., Ltd. followed up with further discussions, and two sample purchases were successfully closed. Cross-border deal after deal — precisely the testament to CTEF's power to connect global buyers.

Bailian Drying: Several customers at this edition showed clear purchase intent, and one or two orders were directly concluded — with particular recognition from overseas buyers. As one customer put it, "It's an equipment exhibition — you come here to see equipment," a highly targeted assessment.

Jiangsu Xinnong Chemical: After comparing several manufacturers, including Tongjiang Machinery, Jinjian Titanium Industry and Huashun Vacuum Pump, the company finally selected Huashun vacuum equipment, completing its equipment selection.

Buyer Manager Jiang: At the Shanghai edition, he came across Himile's silicon carbide heat exchangers, locking in a target manufacturer for his equipment selection.

The above are selected feedback screenshots from CTEF 2026 Shanghai.

Whether a renowned foreign name or a local company, whether buyers come from home or abroad, CTEF answers every expectation with genuine supply-demand matching — consecutive participation is trust, and closed deals are tangible results. Together, they form the complete answer to the value of the CTEF platform.

Connecting Global Chemical Equipment

With the expo as our bridge, we forge ahead toward new frontiers. Exhibitor recruitment for CTEF 2027 is now underway worldwide. The organizing committee cordially invites companies across the global chemical equipment industry to join us in Shanghai, share the stage with foreign names that have exhibited consecutively, and seize the upgrade dividends of China's chemical equipment market and new opportunities in global trade.

Edition after edition, foreign companies have measured the value of the CTEF platform with their continued presence; show after show, CTEF has repaid every trust with professionalism and tangible results. In June 2027, at the Shanghai New International Expo Centre, we look forward to joining hands with more chemical equipment companies worldwide to write a new chapter in the industry's exhibition story.
