From May 16th to 18th, 2026, a high-profile industry event is about to kick off in Yihe New District.
Sponsored by relevant associations and exhibition groups, the 2026 Fourth China Stainless Steel Expo, the 15th Linyi Hardware Expo, and the Third China Laser Industry Expo will be held grandly at the Linyi International Convention and Exhibition Center in Yihe New District.
This exhibition will be linked to three exhibitions, with a planned exhibition area of 60,000 square meters, equivalent to about 4,000 standard exhibitions, and about 3,000 exhibitors are expected.
The exhibition has a wide scope, covering stainless steel raw materials, stainless steel pipes and fittings, stainless steel products, stainless steel laser welding and cutting equipment and supporting supplies, stainless steel production and processing and supporting equipment, laser intelligent manufacturing, laser 3D printing, lasers and optoelectronics, hardware tools, products and other industrial projects.

At present, the exhibition has successfully attracted leading enterprises in the fields of stainless steel, hardware and laser such as Xinhai Technology, Shandong Tongxing Metal, Taijia Steel, Shandong Xinlinshang, Zibo Weiye Stainless Steel, Shanghai Zaike Robot, Kaining Tools, Deli Tools, Youyi Laser, Continental Laser, and Unique Laser to actively participate in the exhibition.
At the same time, more than 290 upstream and downstream professional stainless steel, laser, and hardware markets across the country and more than 40 national, provincial, and municipal business associations have been invited to form a visiting group. More than 80 buses are expected to attend.
This exhibition has many highlights.
First of all, scientifically divide the characteristic areas according to the exhibition categories.
The expo sets up special areas for stainless steel products, processing equipment, pipes and fittings, valves, fasteners and other areas, covering stainless steel application products in different industries, such as stainless steel tableware and kitchenware, small household appliances, household products, hotel supplies, elevators, construction, decoration and other industries.
The exhibition area is not only a physical space for product display, but also the intersection of industry technology, market demand, and brand value. By linking supply and demand, empowering enterprises, and promoting innovation, it continues to inject power into the ecological development of the stainless steel industry, forming a complete industrial chain from raw material supply, processing and manufacturing to product sales, and improving the precise classification of stainless steel categories and its influence in the industry.

Secondly, the three exhibitions are linked and the industrial chain is integrated.
The three exhibitions of this exhibition are linked to cover upstream and downstream industries such as stainless steel products, hardware tools and mechanical equipment, and laser processing technology, forming a full-chain closed loop of “material innovation-technical empowerment-end application”. The exhibits cover the entire industry chain innovation results from high-end stainless steel plates to precision laser cutting systems to intelligent hardware tools.
Exhibitors can connect with full-process partners from raw materials to production technology in one stop, accelerate the transformation of technological achievements, and promote the innovative integration of traditional industries and emerging technologies.
Furthermore, the exhibition promotes exchanges and cooperation between upstream and downstream enterprises in the industry chain.
The exhibition has established an efficient communication platform, allowing raw material suppliers, production companies, purchasers, etc. to communicate directly and strengthening collaboration among all links in the industrial chain.
Through face-to-face negotiations, companies have established closer cooperative relationships and promoted coordinated industrial development.
At present, the overall preparations for the exhibition are progressing in an orderly manner as planned, and the core plans such as exhibition positioning, exhibition area planning, time and venue have been basically determined.
To sum up, this expo will continue to play the role of integrating industrial chain resources, strengthening and replenishing chains, continuously improving the brand image and brand value of the exhibition, and striving to create a high-standard, high-quality, and high-level expo.
From May 16th to 18th, let’s meet at Linyi International Convention and Exhibition Center to attend this industry event.
