China’s construction sector is moving into a phase of high-quality growth. Steel structures, large-span building systems, and prefabricated construction continue to expand at scale. As these technologies advance, the role of high-strength bolts, corrosion-resistant fasteners, and specialized connection systems has never been more critical. Fasteners are no longer simple standard components. They are engineering elements that determine structural safety, durability, and efficiency.

With rising requirements for material grades, fatigue resistance, slip resistance, coatings, and installation precision, Fastener Expo Shanghai has become a key destination for construction professionals seeking reliable suppliers, new technologies, and supply-chain insights.

Fastener Expo Shanghai 2026: A Central Hub for Construction Engineering

Fastener Expo Shanghai 2026 (June 24–26, 2026) will take place at the National Exhibition and Convention Center (Shanghai).

• 70,000 square meters of exhibition space

• More than 1,400 exhibitors

• Over 25,000 expected visitors

The show has evolved into one of the construction sector’s most important platforms for understanding advancements in fastener materials, manufacturing processes, and technical innovation.

High-strength bolts now represent over 70 percent of the fasteners used in steel structures, with the structural fastener market growing nearly 8 percent annually. In large-scale engineering projects, choices around bolt materials, coating systems, and installation methods have a direct impact on structural integrity and long-term performance.

At Fastener Expo Shanghai, visitors gain access to:

• High-strength steels

• Zinc-nickel coatings, mechanical plating, hot-dip galvanizing

• Anti-loosening and preload-monitoring technologies

• Intelligent fastening equipment

These innovations offer design, construction, and supervision teams a clear and comparable technical reference.

Construction teams face constant challenges: fluctuating raw-material prices, shifting logistics cycles, and tight project schedules. Ensuring a stable, predictable supply of fasteners is now a core requirement for project delivery.

By gathering manufacturers, surface-treatment experts, distributors, and testing organizations in one place, the exhibition enables companies to evaluate the entire supply chain, reduce procurement risks, and strengthen delivery reliability.

Material upgrades are accelerating. Stainless steel fasteners are shifting from 304 to 316 and even 2205 duplex stainless steel. In coastal, high-fatigue, or corrosive environments, duplex steel is becoming the preferred material due to its exceptional strength and resistance to pitting and stress-corrosion cracking.

At the expo, visitors can evaluate material samples, attend technical seminars, and explore case studies that connect material science with real engineering performance.As the global construction industry advances toward higher safety, durability, and standardization, fasteners have become essential to every stage of a building’s lifecycle. Fastener Expo Shanghai provides a comprehensive view of new technologies, product innovations, and evolving supply-chain capabilities.

With the ongoing expansion of steel structures and prefabricated building systems, the demand for high-performance fasteners will continue to rise. Through its scale, specialization, and industry influence, Fastener Expo Shanghai has become a must-attend annual event for professionals across the construction ecosystem.
