ITES Shenzhen International Industrial Manufacturing Technology & Equipment Exhibition 2027Shenzhen Industrial Manufacturing Expo: Dates & Visitor Guide

What is ITES Shenzhen International Industrial Manufacturing Technology & Equipment Exhibition?

ITES, known locally as the Shenzhen Industrial Show (深圳工业展) and formerly under the SIMM machinery-show name, is the first big manufacturing-equipment fair on China's calendar each year. It was founded in 2000, is run by the Shenzhen firm Huanyue Convention & Exhibition with guidance from the city's industry and IT bureau, and takes over most of Shenzhen World in Bao'an for four days in late March. The 2027 edition is the 28th.

The show is organised as a group of themed halls rather than one big floor. The high-end equipment halls carry five-axis and gantry machining centres, precision CNC, EDM and grinding machines, metrology and tooling. Other halls cover precision parts and contract manufacturing, sheet-metal, tube, stamping and welding equipment, core technologies such as CNC systems, drives, sensors and industrial software, and automation, which takes in loading, sorting, polishing, vision inspection and industrial humanoid robots. Hall 1 hosts an air-compression and vacuum technology show, and there is a medical-device supply-chain section. At the 2026 show the organiser pointed to machines from Yamazaki Mazak, Makino, Tsugami and Beijing Jingdiao, and to an industrial embodied-AI zone with robots from ROKAE, FANUC, Leju, Dobot and AgiBot.

The visitors are production, process and purchasing people from the Pearl River Delta's electronics, automotive, new-energy and medical-device plants. The organiser counted more than 120,000 trade visitors in 2026, and it names buying teams from OPPO, vivo, Foxconn, Luxshare, BYD and Huawei, plus buyers from Japan, Korea, Germany and Thailand. Many come to compare machines for parts that are hard to make: robot reducers and joints, foldable-phone hinges, liquid-cooling plates for AI servers and battery structures.

ITES pairs the halls with a heavy conference programme. In 2026 the organiser reported 80-plus themed forums, and for 2027 it runs advanced-manufacturing series on semiconductor equipment, aerospace, new-energy vehicles, AI servers, embodied intelligence, electronics manufacturing and medical devices. It also promotes 100-plus product launches a year.

For a foreign buyer or engineer, ITES is the quickest way to get a view of Chinese and imported machine tools and automation in one place, a short drive from the factories that use them.
