The 2026 Northeast Asia International Foundry and Hot Processing Exhibition opens in Shenyang

Focusing on industrial upgrading, the 2026 Northeast Asia International Foundry and Hot Processing Exhibition grandly opens in Shenyang

On September 1st, 2026 Northeast Asia International Casting and Hot Processing Exhibition officially kicked off at Shenyang International Exhibition Center. This exhibition is the fourth grand event in the industry, held concurrently with the 24th China International Equipment Manufacturing Industry Expo. Leveraging the industrial advantages of the old industrial base in Northeast China, it gathers high-quality resources in the global casting and hot processing fields, and builds a core platform for technology exchange, equipment iteration, supply and demand docking, and industrial synergy in Northeast Asia, helping the casting industry transform and upgrade towards green, intelligent, and high-end industries.


This exhibition is hosted by the China Foundry Association and organized by Beijing Zhongzhu Century Exhibition Co., Ltd. The core theme is "Building a new pattern of dual chain casting in Northeast Asia and promoting the transformation and upgrading of old base industries". It focuses on the entire industry chain, including green sand casting, intelligent modeling, melting and heat treatment, environmental protection and dust removal, precision castings, and high-end raw and auxiliary materials. The exhibition period is from September 1st to September 4th, with a professional setup completed from August 30th to 31st. More than 1000 well-known domestic and foreign exhibitors gathered to showcase cutting-edge technologies, intelligent equipment, and innovative solutions in the casting industry. It is a highly influential professional event in the casting industry in Northeast Asia this year.

After the opening ceremony of the exhibition, leaders such as Gu Jun, Vice Governor of Liaoning Province, and Lv Zhicheng, Mayor of Shenyang City, accompanied by the leaders of the China Foundry Association, visited the W2 Northeast Asia Foundry and Hot Processing Exhibition Hall. They had face-to-face exchanges with enterprise representatives and exhibitors, listened to their demands and responded to their concerns, and jointly felt the profound foundation and new atmosphere of foundry empowering the revitalization of old industrial bases through the synergy of the entire industry chain.



Since its establishment, the Northeast Asia International Foundry Exhibition (formerly known as the China (Shenyang) International Foundry and Hot Processing Exhibition) has clearly defined its international positioning, with the main theme of "building a new pattern of dual chain casting in Northeast Asia and promoting the transformation and upgrading of the old base industry", and continues to cultivate and refine. Relying on the resources of more than 20 local industry associations and industrial clusters in Liaoning, Jilin, Heilongjiang, Inner Mongolia, and other regions, and in collaboration with international organizations in Northeast Asia such as Japan, South Korea, and Russia, the exhibition and manufacturing expo are deeply integrated, resonating on the same frequency, and exchanging passenger flow, gradually building a dual track linkage mechanism of "full chain coverage+precise cultivation", and the multiplier effect of "dual exhibition integration" continues to amplify.


As a benchmark casting exhibition in Northeast China and radiating to North Asia, this event has attracted heavyweight purchasing units, industry cluster delegations, research institutes, and international industry organizations from all over the industry to visit and exchange ideas. The professional exhibition lineup is full of value, demonstrating the industry's centripetal force.


Among the visiting lineup of leading domestic manufacturing enterprises, all the core equipment manufacturing, automotive, aerospace, heavy industry, and rail transit leading enterprises in Northeast China were present. This includes industry benchmark enterprises such as FAW Group, BMW Brilliance Automotive, Shenyang Aircraft Corporation, Harbin Electric Power Group, China National Heavy Duty Truck Group, Northern Heavy Industry, Shenyang Drum Group, Dalian Heavy Industry, CRRC Changke, CRRC Dalian, and Shenyang Machine Tool. Major enterprise equipment research and development, production technology improvement, and procurement supply chain teams gathered for the exhibition, focusing on inspecting intelligent molding production lines, automated melting equipment, green and environmentally friendly sand treatment systems, and precision casting technology improvement plans, in order to reserve high-quality technology and equipment resources for upgrading enterprise production lines, reducing costs and increasing efficiency, and green transformation.


At the same time, delegations from the three provinces in Northeast China and Inner Mongolia's industrial clusters gathered in large groups for the exhibition, including the Liaoning Kazuo Casting Industry Cluster, Jilin Automotive Casting Industry Cluster, Heilongjiang Heavy Equipment Casting Enterprise Cluster, and Inner Mongolia Casting Industry Delegation. Key regional casting enterprises such as Shenyang Machine Tool Yinfeng Casting, Fuxin Lida Steel Casting, Qiqihar Heavy Duty Casting, Jilin Hanhua Heavy Equipment, and Dalian Xinhe Heavy Industry deeply participated in on-site exchanges, focusing on core needs such as intelligent transformation of traditional casting production lines, updating of old equipment, and upgrading of energy-saving and consumption reducing technologies, and accurately connecting with high-quality supply chain resources in the industry.

The authoritative power of the industry fully empowers the development of the exhibition. Multiple provincial and municipal foundry industry associations across the country have organized tours, and foundry associations from Liaoning Province, Jilin Province, Heilongjiang Province, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, Shenyang City, and Dalian City have joined forces to participate. The expert team of the China Foundry Association provides on-site technical guidance, industry trend interpretation, and enterprise consultation services. At the same time, casting industry associations and procurement delegations from neighboring countries in Northeast Asia, such as Japan, South Korea, and Russia, attended the event to deepen cross-border technology exchange and industrial cooperation, and promote the coordinated development of the casting industry in Northeast Asia.

In the field of scientific research and academia, we actively participate in industry exchanges. Teachers, students, and experts from materials and casting related majors at Northeastern University, Harbin Institute of Technology, Dalian University of Technology, Shenyang University of Technology, Jilin University, Shenyang University of Technology, and other universities, as well as research institutes, visited the site to focus on new processes, new technologies, and new materials for industry university research docking, injecting talent and scientific research strength into the innovative development of the industry.

The exhibition exhibits cover the core areas of the entire casting industry chain, including intelligent injection molding lines, static pressure molding equipment, automated sand processing systems, intermediate frequency melting equipment, intelligent pouring robots, complete sets of heat treatment equipment, environmental dust removal equipment, 3D printing sand mold technology, high-end casting products, and casting raw materials. Especially for the mature equipment solutions such as boxless injection molding production lines that are essential for the technological transformation of small and medium-sized casting enterprises, they have become a popular category for inspection at this exhibition, accurately matching the development needs of traditional casting factories to improve quality and efficiency, and upgrade automation.


The grand hosting of the 2026 Northeast Asia International Casting and Hot Processing Exhibition further solidifies Shenyang's position as the core hub of equipment manufacturing and casting industry in Northeast China, breaks down the upstream and downstream docking barriers of the casting industry in Northeast Asia, and provides an efficient landing platform for the transformation and upgrading, intelligent transformation, and green and low-carbon development of the casting industry in the old industrial base in Northeast China.
