en.Wedoany.com Reported - The 17th China International Machine Tool & Tools Exhibition (CIMES 2026) and the 4th China Aviation Digital Capability Building & Process Equipment Expo (CAEE 2026) will be co-located from September 7 to 11, 2026, at the China International Exhibition Center (Shunyi Hall) in Beijing. Under the theme "New Technologies, New Ecosystems, Innovative Integration," the exhibitions aim to create a platform for showcasing and collaboration driven by both the machine tool and aviation sectors. Founded in 1992, CIMES has been held biennially in Beijing for over three decades; CAEE, now in its fourth edition, focuses on intelligent aviation manufacturing.

Guided and hosted by organizations including the China Machinery Industry Federation, China National Machinery Industry Corporation (Sinomach), and Aviation Industry Corporation of China (AVIC), this edition achieves co-location and resource sharing in the same venue. Exhibitors can reach users in both the machine tool and intelligent aviation manufacturing core sectors simultaneously. Exhibits cover the entire machine tool industry chain and core areas of high-end aviation equipment, including metal-cutting machine tools, metal-forming machine tools, laser processing equipment, special processing machine tools, and flexible manufacturing systems; industrial robots, CNC systems, automation control, hydraulics and pneumatics, industrial IoT, and smart factory solutions; aviation precision CNC machining equipment, composite material forming, automated drilling and riveting, non-destructive testing, digital twins, aviation test equipment, low-altitude economy intelligent equipment, and aviation digital factory integration solutions; as well as cutting tools, workholding, precision measuring instruments, abrasives, functional components, superhard materials, and machine tool electricals.

Exhibitors include China General Technology Group, the AVIC pavilion, Ningqing Machine Tool, Huazhong CNC, Huizhuan Machine Tool, Han's Laser, East China CNC, Guangdong Haoteman Machine Tool, Hexagon, Beijing EDM, Ruitie Machine Tool, Aike Machine Tool, Mingsai Technology, HeDuan, Sodick (Japan), WTO (Germany), and API (USA), among others. The exhibitions will target key sectors such as mechanical processing, automotive manufacturing, engineering machinery, rail transit, aerospace, defense, shipbuilding, 3C electronics, and medical devices, forming hundreds of professional procurement groups. They will also gather procurement decision-makers from central and state-owned enterprises including Sinomach, FAW Group, Dongfeng Motor, China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation, Aero Engine Corporation of China, China State Shipbuilding Corporation, XCMG, CRRC, and Zoomlion. The event is expected to attract approximately 60,000 professional visitors; the previous edition drew 62,388 visitors from 19 countries and regions, with coverage by 564 media outlets.

Concurrent events include the flagship forum "Intelligent Future: Industrial Mother Machine User Ecosystem Conference," with vertical sub-forums on new energy vehicles, aerospace, medical devices, and energy equipment. Other activities include the High-End Forum on CNC and 5-Axis Machining Technology, the Forum on Intelligent Sheet Metal and Efficient Forming Technology, the Forum on Smart Factory and Industrial Software Application Technology, the China Aviation Industry Capacity Building Development Forum, and the Forum on Advanced Aviation Manufacturing Technology. On-site matchmaking events will include dedicated procurement sessions for central enterprises in the "Three Aviation and One Automotive" sectors, specialized procurement pairing for new energy vehicle equipment, and supply-demand matchmaking for leading private enterprises in high-end equipment, aiming to deliver a full-chain service of precise pre-event matching, efficient on-site negotiation, and post-event follow-up implementation.

Oxford Economics forecasts a broad recovery in global machine tool demand from 2025 to 2026, with sustained growth in demand for high-end CNC machine tools, intelligent equipment, and precision functional components. This co-located dual exhibition will serve as a platform for product display, technological innovation, supply-demand matching, and international cooperation, driving the machine tool industry toward high-performance precision manufacturing and helping enterprises seize market opportunities arising from large-scale equipment upgrades and manufacturing transformation.
