SPS - Industrial Automation Fair (SIAF) Guangzhou and Asiamold concluded on 3 March with an overwhelming number of visitors attending the show. At the fair it was also announced that SIAF Guangzhou will be rebranded as SPS - Smart Production Solutions Guangzhou in the next edition, in order to recognise its growth, and allow the show to better leverage the SPS brand's global network. The 2024 edition will run under the tagline of “Automation diversity, automation excellence”.
Mr Richard Li, Chairperson of the Board of Management, Guangzhou Guangya Messe Frankfurt Co Ltd commented: “We are very happy with the success of this year's shows, as evidenced by the increased visitor flow and the very positive feedback we've received from participants. The easing of restrictions earlier in the year has meant the demand for face-to-face interaction has never been stronger. Through platforms like this, the industry can regain its momentum, leading to a promising future for smart manufacturing.”
Mr Martin Roschkowski, President of Mesago Messe Frankfurt GmbH personally attended the fair in Guangzhou to give his support to the news: “The renaming of the Guangzhou fair represents its recognition as a fully-fledged member of the SPS brand name fairs. By leveraging the brand's global network, we anticipate that this will help to bring even more international attention to the event in Guangzhou. We believe that this change will be beneficial for everyone involved, and it is part of our commitment to embracing the latest technological advancements.“
We have been exhibiting at SIAF since 2015, and the number of visitors this year exceeded my expectations. Only on the first two days of the fair, we have already recorded approximately three thousand visits at our booth. In fact, the Chinese market highly values face-to-face interaction, and so we were able to meet many new and existing customers at our booth looking for products and expressing their purchasing needs. SIAF is one of the most important communication platforms in the country, and therefore we look forward to the upgraded SPS – Smart Production Solutions Guangzhou continuing to lead the Chinese manufacturing industry towards increased automation.

SIAF Guangzhou is a top tier exhibition in South China with a heavy focus on automation and smart manufacturing, and we are joining the show to promote our brand awareness in the country, especially in the South China market. Throughout the show, the hall always maintained a large crowd. There were lots of enquiries at our booth, many of whom we believe have big potential. I was also happy to learn about the upgrade of the fair to SPS – Smart Production Solutions Guangzhou for the next edition. SIAF Guangzhou has always been connecting industry players within the nation. With this coming upgrade, I hope to see its level of internationalism further elevated, which will help connect us with overseas players. I am very much looking forward to coming back to the next edition.

Despite a number of clients unable to attend the fair this year, we are still pleased with the visitor turn out and delighted to meet domestic buyers from Zhejiang and several northern cities in China. In recent years, we noticed various industry sectors paying more attention towards energy consumption and sustainable automation solutions, particularly within the steel, electric power, dye and printing industries. In conjunction with the national environmental targets, we have been developing energy-saving management system solutions to meet our clients’ and the government’s energy-saving needs.

Mr Altman Guo, Sales Director
This our fifth year participating at the fair as SIAF Guangzhou not only attracts the right target buyers for our business but is also a great marketing tool for promoting our brand. The fair puts us in direct contact with new and existing clients to not only gain valuable feedback for our products, but to also understand their individual manufacturing needs. We are very pleased with this year’s event as many local clients came to our booth to discuss business partnerships in detail, boosting domestic sales due to a sharp decrease in imported products. Paired with the government’s production goals in the latest Five-Year Plan, our domestic market sales increased close to 90% in the past two years. In terms of sustainable manufacturing, our firm has been heavily involved in developing lithium ion battery technologies and solar PV smart manufacturing solutions to support the country’s ‘Carbon Peak’ and ‘Carbon Neutral’ initiatives.
