MTM Expo 2026
About the Exhibition
The Shanghai International Metallurgical Industry Exhibition (MTM), founded in 1986, is China's oldest professional metallurgy exhibition. Over 30 years it has grown into an international, comprehensive large-scale network for the ferrous-metallurgy industry, scaling from an original 5,000 sq m with 80 exhibitors to today's 40,000 sq m with 500 outstanding exhibitors — witnessing China's steel industry develop across successive five-year plans. The show focuses on the application and marketing of key high-quality products such as automotive panels, silicon steel, bearing steel, gear steel, marine steel and nuclear-power steel, as well as intelligent equipment in the steel industry.
