The IFS China is an annual international exhibition for fasteners, held since its inception in 2014 at the Shanghai World Expo Exhibition & Convention Center in Shanghai, China. This center, known for its cutting-edge architecture and prime location in the heart of Shanghai, provides an ideal platform for such large-scale events. The exhibition is organized by the Shanghai Afastener Exhibition Co., Ltd., which specializes in showcasing innovative products and services in the fields of fastening technology and fasteners. IFS China is one of the three largest events for fasteners globally and the first in Asia to cover the entire supply chain of the industry. Fasteners, including screws, nuts, bolts, rivets, and other fastening systems, play a crucial role in almost every industrial sector, including automobile manufacturing, aerospace, construction, mechanical engineering, and power generation. They are a fundamental component of manufacturing processes and influence both product quality and production efficiency.

They can contribute to improving product performance, reducing costs, increasing production efficiency, and enhancing sustainability practices. Therefore, the exhibition of fasteners at trade fairs like IFS China offers participants a valuable opportunity to learn about the latest products and technologies, forge business relationships, and improve their companies' competitiveness. Here, the latest technologies and trends are presented, with a focus on innovation and quality. Highlights of the exhibition include the presentation of high-quality fasteners, the introduction of new technologies, and the opportunity to network with industry leaders.
