    The China International Hardware Show (CIHS) is one of the world's leading hardware exhibitions, held annually in Shanghai. With a 21-year history rooted in the International Hardware Fair in Cologne, CIHS has established itself as the second-largest show in the industry worldwide.

    Dates: 28–30 September 2026. City: Shanghai. Venue: Shanghai New International Expo Centre (SNIEC). The fair has already taken place. The organizer announces the next edition separately.

    Most stands work in Chinese and only some teams speak English. We arrange a Chinese interpreter in Shanghai: at the stands, in supplier negotiations and on factory visits.
