From September 21 to 24, Tube China 2026, the Shanghai International Tube Exhibition, was held at the Shanghai New International Expo Center. As a major specialized pipe exhibition in Asia, this year’s event brought together numerous companies from the pipe manufacturing, processing equipment, raw materials, and related industrial chains sectors. The SMLSCO team also attended the event to tour the exhibition and network, gaining a deeper understanding of industry changes and market demands.
Looking at Products, but Also at Trends
At the exhibition, SMLSCO team focused on products such as nickel alloys, stainless steel, and specialty pipes, as well as pipe fittings, processing equipment, and testing technologies.
Rather than simply viewing exhibits, the team focused more on the application scenarios, material developments, and market trends behind the various products. Through on-site visits, they were able to gain a more intuitive understanding of the latest changes in the industry regarding product upgrades, manufacturing capabilities, and application requirements.

Face-to-Face Exchanges to Understand Real Needs
During the exhibition, SMLSCO team also engaged in discussions with several industry partners, exchanging ideas on products, market applications, and collaboration opportunities.
For SMLSCO, attending Tube China was not just a visit—it was an opportunity to understand the market, learn from peers, and gather industry insights. Many issues that are difficult to assess quickly online become much clearer through face-to-face communication.
Moving forward, SMLSCO will continue to monitor developments and changes in the piping industry, incorporating more new product information and market demands into our daily operations to provide customers with more professional services that are closely aligned with their practical needs.
