The China International Hardware Show 2020, originally slated for Aug. 7-9 in Shanghai, has been postponed due to concerns over the spread of COVID-19.
The event, co-hosted by Koelnmesse and the China National Hardware Association, is now set for Oct. 8-10, 2021, still in Shanghai. The event is described as the largest international professional hardware show in the Asia-Pacific region.
Factors that led to the decision include quarantine policies and overseas travel disruptions. “After frequent negotiations and based on the consultation with exhibitors and overseas buyers, the organizers finally decided to postpone the show,” the CNHA announced.
