With the implementation of China Western Development strategy and the Belt and Road policy, the economy of Southwest China is injected with more power and has developed rapidly. Chongqing, one of the southwestern cities, is not only an important modern manufacturing and high-tech industrial base, but is the economic and financial center of the upper Yangtze River as well, radiating to many important cities around, such as Xi’an, Zhengzhou, Wuhan, Changsha, Liuzhou, Guiyang, and Chengdu, etc. Therefore, in recent years, many domestic and overseas enterprises have settled in Chongqing one after another to expand their business, which has made Chongqing become the important center of economic development in Western China.

As a platform for publicity and trading in China surface finishing industry, Chongqing (China) International Surface Finishing, Electroplating and Coating Exhibition, short for SF EXPO, is based in Chongqing and radiates to the southwest region, making important contributions to technical exchanges and trade docking of the industry. It will be held in Chongqing International Expo Center on September 10-12, 2020. Since the preparation of the exhibition, it has been strongly supported by numbers of surface finishing industry associations, exhibitors, media and downstream enterprises. The work of promotion and publicity at home and abroad and invitations to visitors proceed in an orderly manner.

SF EXPO is organized by Wise Exhibition (Guangdong) Co.,Ltd., China Electroplating Association, China Surface Engineering Association Painting of Branch, Chongqing Surface Engineering Association, Chongqing Society of Automotive Engineering, Chongqing Painting Industry Association and supported by other surface engineering and electroplating associations and more than 50 downstream associations all around the country. China Electroplating Association and China Surface Engineering Association Painting of Branch, which are influential associations of the industry, have been the organizers of SF EXPO for many years, connecting association members and upstream and downstream enterprises tightly. This year, the two associations will continue to help arrange the preparation work of concurrent events, publicity and visitor invitations, making an influential event in China surface finishing industry for 2020!

SF EXPO has been held in Guangzhou thirteen times and Chongqing three times. It is a brand exhibition that has been approved by the Global Association of the Exhibition Industry (UFI), which is the most authoritative and influential exhibition industry organization in the world. Over the years, the SF EXPO organizing team has adhered to the craftsmanship spirit and has been working in the industry, accumulating thousands of data about surface finishing, electroplating, coating and related enterprises. It serves the industry with big data, which has made the exhibition more efficient and highly recognized by industry people.
