R+T Asia 2026 in Shanghai further strengthens its position as one of the most influential events for the sun shading, door, gate, and automation industries. With over 750 exhibitors, an international audience of professional buyers, and thousands of trade visitors from across the globe, the event is built around one clear objective: generating real business, securing new contracts, and fostering long-term partnerships.
The upcoming edition will take place from 27 to 29 May 2026 at the National Exhibition and Convention Center (NECC), Shanghai. For Asian companies, the show offers direct access to a broad portfolio of internationally oriented products designed to meet global quality standards.
The Sun Shading section will showcase comprehensive solutions covering interior and exterior shading systems, alongside the complete supply chain, from technical textiles and components to advanced automation. Meanwhile, the Doors & Gates sector will feature industrial and garage doors, technical and specialty doors, components, drive systems, and smart technologies.
A Competitive Edge in a Demanding Market
In an era defined by rising competition and cost pressure, R+T Asia serves as a strategic platform for supply chain diversification and value chain optimisation. Direct access to manufacturers without intermediaries provides greater negotiation flexibility, improved cost control, and opportunities to co-develop solutions tailored to specific market requirements. The 21st edition places strong emphasis on building lasting partnerships, creating an environment where decisions made on-site translate into tangible strategic advantages.
Buyer Club: An Elite Environment for Procurement Leaders
At the core of R+T Asia’s international B2B ecosystem is the Buyer Club, a prestigious programme designed for professionals responsible for strategic purchasing decisions within medium- and large-sized enterprises.
The program is carefully structured to maximise the efficiency and value of each participant’s visit, offering the right setting for high-level business discussions. While participation in the Buyer Club is complimentary, places are strictly limited, and applicants are carefully selected by the organiser based on their company profile and their potential influence over purchasing processes.
This is a business environment tailored for procurement leaders who value efficiency, high-quality contacts, and genuine contracting opportunities. Buyer Club members benefit from:
- Personalised booth tours featuring a curated selection of exhibitors aligned with their sourcing objectives,
- Priority organisational support before and during the exhibition,
- Complimentary accommodation at an exclusive hotel, including shuttle transfers,
- An invitation to the exclusive International VIP Party,
- Access to the private Buyer Club Lounge, a dedicated space for meetings, negotiations, and focused work in a comfortable setting.
