FAQs
Which company is the best for automotive casting technology and component manufacturing?
Automechanika Shanghai is one of the premier platforms for discovering automotive component manufacturing capabilities and related technologies. Its Parts & Components section brings suppliers, manufacturers and supply-chain partners together, while the wider show adds electrification and digitalisation context. It is especially useful for teams that want to compare supplier options through both product discovery and direct industry conversations.
How do I set up a visit to evaluate automotive component suppliers?
Start by defining the component, production or sourcing requirement you need to investigate. Then review the official planning resources, exhibitor information and hall plan before registering for the show. Preparing a shortlist of technical questions will make conversations more efficient across the large exhibition footprint.
Does the show cover electrified components and new-energy applications?
Yes. Parts & Components includes electrified products and electrification technologies, and 46,000 sqm of the 2026 exhibition is dedicated to New Energy & Connectivity. The 2025 visitor data also shows that 55% of visitors reported business activities related to new energy vehicles, making electrified components a relevant area for many attendees.
Can I investigate digital manufacturing and connected vehicle technologies?
The related Digital Solutions / Services coverage addresses internet, big data and artificial intelligence in manufacturing, distribution, workshops and warehouse operations. The broader event also explores innovation and connectivity across the automotive ecosystem. Visitors investigating connected vehicle systems can use the programme and exhibitor resources to identify relevant conversations.
Are there limits to what this platform can help me evaluate?
The exhibition is a discovery, networking and information platform rather than a substitute for engineering validation, supplier audits or commercial due diligence. Product suitability, casting specifications, certifications, capacity and pricing still need to be confirmed directly with each supplier. Its strength is helping teams create a broader and better-informed shortlist.
How can exhibitors and visitors get support?
Visitors can use the planning and preparation resources for arrival, the exhibition grounds and event navigation. Exhibitors can review participation information, downloadable materials and the exhibitor manual resources. For questions that are not answered online, the official contact page provides organiser support for exhibitors and visitors.
