On April 22, Intermodal Asia Shanghai 2026 opened at the Shanghai World Expo Exhibition & Convention Center — a premier international gathering that brings together global industry expertise and focuses on the future of the sector. Co-hosted by the China Container Industry Association (CCIA) and Informa Markets, the exhibition has carried forward its strong professional foundation and international influence since its launch in 2014. Representatives from container transportation, leasing, and manufacturing companies across the full value chain — spanning more than 60 countries — together with leading domestic and international media, gathered at the show to explore the evolving pathways of container intermodal transportation amid a shifting global trade landscape.

CIMC Qingdao Refrigeration Industrial Base, CIMC Group's flagship base for cold chain equipment R&D and manufacturing, participated under the unified CIMC Group exhibition presence and engaged in extensive, in-depth exchanges with customers and partners from the global shipping, logistics, energy, and engineering sectors. Throughout the three-day event, the team met face-to-face with numerous domestic and international visitors at the CIMC booth, holding substantive conversations around project collaboration opportunities, market trends, and future development directions — with a steady flow of visitors across all three days.

New and Returning Customers Gather, International Partnerships Deepen

Over the course of the exhibition, CIMC Qingdao Refrigeration Industrial Base welcomed both first-time visitors and long-standing international clients who traveled specifically to reconnect with the team. Through these meaningful exchanges with both new and returning customers, the company further strengthened existing partnerships while identifying a strong pipeline of high-quality prospects — laying a solid foundation for the next phase of international business development.
