After the cancelled CCMT 2020 the German machine tool manufacturers will once again make a strong appearance in Shanghai: About half a year before the beginning of CCMT 2022, the interest of the exhibitors in the Chinese trade fair is high which will take place at the Shanghai New International Expo Centre from April 11 to 15, 2021. The order situation in the industry has recovered noticeably, driven not least by orders from abroad.

After CCMT, this year's largest machine tool fair in Asia, had to be cancelled due to the global COVID 19-pandemic, IMAG introduces a new virtual format for the German exhibitors: From now on, Germany online @ CCMT 2020 provides a platform for all 106 German exhibitors who had registered for the trade fair in Shanghai to present their products and services online.

Due to the COVID-19 outbreak, CCMT 2020 which was originally scheduled at the Shanghai New International Expo Center (SNIEC) from April 7 to 11, 2020, had to be postponed. Now, the Committee of CCMT 2020 has announced that this year's machine tool fair will be cancelled completely in consequence of the ongoing global pandemic. This decision had been taken after careful considerations and intensive communication with domestic and foreign exhibitors, venue owners and the Shanghai municipal government.

Nine months before the opening of CCMT 2020, interest in the Chinese machine tool fair is stronger than ever before: Until the beginning of July, German exhibitors have registered more than three times as much exhibition space than in the same period of 2017. Machine tools from Germany are still in great demand in China. Currently, the country takes almost 20 percent of the German machine tool exports. That is why the CCMT which takes place from April 7 to 11, 2020 at the Shanghai New International Expo Center, has become a must go for German companies from the industry which want to do successful business in China.
