SHANGHAI, China — September 2026 — From September 1 to September 3, 2026, the China Composites Expo (CCE) 2026 was held in Shanghai. Centered on the theme “Thermoplastics, Green Materials, and Intelligent Manufacturing: New Heights in Domestic Innovation,” the premier composites exhibition brought together industry leaders to spotlight cutting-edge technology and new quality productive forces across the composites sector.
Sitong Group, along with its key subsidiaries including ZK Hydraulic, proudly participated in this flagship industry gathering. Exhibiting alongside renowned industry frontrunners such as Feilihua, Guangwei Composites, Changsheng Technology, Neweco Carbon, Zhongfu Shenying, and Hengshen, ZK Hydraulic’s invited participation underscores its established reputation and influential presence within the composite materials and manufacturing industry.
A Stage for Frontier Innovations and Sustainable Trends
CCE 2026 featured ground-breaking applications across aerospace, new energy vehicles (NEVs), wind/solar/hydrogen energy storage, rail transit, the low-altitude economy, humanoid robotics, and consumer electronics. The event highlighted three pivotal macro trends:
- Accelerated Thermoplastics Adoption: With 115 exhibitors focusing on thermoplastic composites (nearly double from the previous edition), thermoplastics are rapidly replacing conventional thermosets in NEVs, drones, and lightweight structures.
- Green & Circular Composites: Over 20% of participants showcased bio-based raw materials, recyclable resins, and closed-loop lifecycle solutions.
- Intelligent & High-Precision Manufacturing: Equipment manufacturers accounted for 29% of exhibitors, with advanced automated systems—such as 5-axis machining centers, industrial 3D printing, and AI vision inspection—representing 75% of machine exhibits. High-profile product debuts included T1200 carbon fiber, Type IV hydrogen storage container systems, composite PV frames, and bionic legged robot carbon skeletons.
ZK Hydraulic at the Forefront of the Green Economy
Standing out as a major highlight of the exhibition, ZK Hydraulic showcased its latest eco-friendly innovations: wood-shavings & glass fiber molded pallets and recycled plastic pallets. These high-performance, sustainable logistics solutions captured widespread attention from international delegations.
Over the three-day exhibition, the ZK Hydraulic booth welcomed global clients, partners, and industry representatives from nations including Brazil, the United States, Kazakhstan, Indonesia, Vietnam, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, and India. Visitors showed immense enthusiasm for ZK Hydraulic’s durable, circular material engineering.
