In 2026, a grand event in the hardware industry is about to kick off.
The 2026 China International Hardware Show (CIHS) Cologne Hardware Show will be held grandly at the Shanghai New International Expo Center from September 28th to 30th.
The exhibition is hosted by the China Hardware Products Association and Cologne Messe Co., Ltd. in Germany, and organized by Beijing Hedewo Exhibition Co., Ltd.
CIHS is known as the “barometer of the hardware market”. It is the most influential procurement event in the Asian hardware industry and the first choice platform for global buyers to understand the trends in the hardware market in China and Asia.
It is jointly created by Cologne Messe (the birthplace of the German Hardware Show) and the China Hardware Products Association, realizing the convergence of the superior resources of the two major hardware markets in China and Germany.
The exhibition is expected to bring together nearly 3,000 exhibiting companies and attract 80,000+ professional visitors, of which overseas buyers account for more than 40%, providing an excellent window for companies to expand into the global market.
This means that many Chinese hardware companies will have the opportunity to communicate and cooperate face-to-face with buyers from all over the world, and promote China’s high-quality products to the world.
This exhibition focuses on cutting-edge trends such as green manufacturing and AI smart tools, and displays high-tech products such as hydrogen energy tools and Industry 4.0.
This not only reflects the development direction of the hardware industry, but also provides exhibitors with a platform to showcase their innovation capabilities and technical strength.
The scope of exhibits covers the entire industry chain, covering multiple fields.
In terms of tool hardware, it includes hand tools, explosion-proof tools, electric tools, pneumatic tools, woodworking equipment, spray equipment, jacks, etc. to meet the needs of different customers.
In the field of electromechanical and abrasive tools, there are pump valves, air compressors, electric motors, generators, bearings, welding equipment, cutting tools, diamond products, etc.
The construction and gardening segment includes decorative hardware, furniture hardware, door and window hardware, garden maintenance equipment, barbecue products, courtyard leisure facilities, etc.
In terms of safety and protection, we provide labor protection supplies, personal protective equipment, professional clothing, safety monitoring instruments, safes and security locks, etc.
In the field of processing and manufacturing, there are metal processing equipment, testing equipment, heat treatment equipment, surface treatment equipment, etc.
In addition, there are special areas for building hardware, fasteners, lock security, gardening, labor protection, etc.
For hardware companies, participating in the 2026 China International Hardware Exhibition is a rare opportunity.
By showcasing their products and technologies, companies can enhance brand awareness, expand sales channels, and establish cooperative relationships with global customers.
At the same time, you can also understand the latest trends and market demands in the industry, providing reference for the development of enterprises.
I believe that at this exhibition, Chinese hardware companies will shine and sell more high-quality Chinese products to the world.
