Copper China is a trade exhibition devoted to copper and copper alloy semi-finished products, the equipment that makes them and the markets that consume them. Exhibits run from ingot, rod, plate, strip, tube, wire, foil and busbar through the rolling, extrusion, drawing and furnace lines that produce them, alongside refractories, master alloys, additives and lubricants.

Buyers come from copper fabricators and trading houses, and from the industries they supply: new energy vehicles, energy storage and power batteries, electronics and telecommunications, air-conditioning and refrigeration, wire and cable, electrical equipment, transport, machinery, construction materials and hardware. A hosted-buyer programme runs through the year and during the show, matching purchasing teams at those manufacturers with suppliers, and a forum on copper-based new materials is held alongside the exhibition.
