HOTELEX Shanghai 2027 booth in Shanghai: your turnkey stand builder

International
Hotel, catering, cafe, and bakery: HOTELEX Shanghai gathers the entire Chinese HORECA sector every year. Meet us from March 30 to April 2, 2027, at the NECC in Shanghai, where your HOTELEX Shanghai stand must allow visitors to see, smell, and taste your expertise.
HOTELEX Shanghai, the Great Chinese HORECA Market
The exhibition covers kitchen equipment, tableware, ingredients, bakery & pastry, coffee machines, beverages, and packaging. Visitors include chefs, purchasing managers of hotel chains, cafe and bakery managers, distributors, and importers.
The 2026 edition featured 4,018 exhibitors and 303,576 visitors. Organized by Hotelex Exhibition Group, it is the perfect opportunity to demonstrate a product in real conditions and find distributors covering an immense territory.
The NECC: The Cloverleaf Exhibition Center of Hongqiao
The National Exhibition and Convention Center is located in Hongqiao, west of Shanghai, close to the airport and the high-speed railway station. The metro serves the venue directly. Vast halls and heavy visitor flows require a highly visible stand, with early validation of technical constraints (water, electricity, extraction).
HORECA and Bakery Stand: Expace Expertise
A HORECA stand comes to life through live demonstrations: oven, barista, warm pastries. This requires technical kitchens, separated traffic flows, and easy-to-clean materials. We design together with your culinary teams, manufacture in France, and install in China through our Hong Kong office.
