bauma CHINA 2026 runs as one show across two venues. SNIEC (Shanghai New International Expo Center) runs November 24 to 27, 2026, and SWEECC (Shanghai World Expo Exhibition & Convention Center) opens a day earlier, November 23 to 26, 2026. A single visitor registration covers both, and registration is free until 00:00 on November 21, 2026, on the official site. Because the dates are staggered, the practical approach is to give each venue its own day rather than trying to see both in one morning, and to treat the visit as the front end of a sourcing process rather than a day out.
How to confirm it
- Fix the two venues and their dates before you book travel
SNIEC runs November 24 to 27, 2026, and SWEECC runs November 23 to 26, 2026. They are separate sites, not two halls of one complex, so the travel between them belongs in the plan. Write the four dates down together and decide which venue gets which day before you book a hotel, because criss-crossing the two wastes half a day each time. The one thing not to do is assume the venues sit next door to each other; check the distance on a map first, then book a room that suits the plan rather than the other way around.
- Register early, because it is free only until November 21
Visitor registration on the official site is free until 00:00 on November 21, 2026, and the same registration covers both venues. Leaving it late adds cost and a queue at the door for no benefit, and the registration is also what gives you the floor plan to plan from.
- Give each venue its own day, and let the earlier start help
SWEECC opens a day earlier than SNIEC, so a visitor in Shanghai for the full week can work SWEECC first while the SNIEC halls are still closed, then move to SNIEC for its run. Trying to cover both venues in a single day leaves you with a bag of catalogs and no real conversations.
- Plan the floor the night before, not in the taxi
Read the floor plan the evening before and mark the stands that matter. A useful conversation takes ten to fifteen minutes, so one day holds perhaps five to eight real ones and a great deal of walking. If parts sourcing is the goal, the component and parts companies deserve the marked stands more than the machine launches do. A shortlist written down the night before is worth more than a phone full of booth photographs.
- Know what a parts buyer is actually looking for
Four questions sort a supplier from a stand. Is the stock on your own shelf, or sourced after I send a purchase order? For this line, is the grade genuine, OEM-quality or aftermarket? Do you hold any formal authorization, and for which brands? And who do I contact when a shipment turns out wrong? Write the answers down while the person is in front of you, because booth answers are forgotten by the second hall.
- Compare the answers as documents, not as prices
Send three to five shortlisted stands the same complete inquiry: machine model, serial number, the part numbers you have, the quantity and the destination port. Compare the replies as documents, because the lowest number is frequently answering a different question. A quotation that omits the grade, or that cannot say whether the stock sits on a shelf or is sourced, is a price list rather than an offer.
What to do about it
Turn the shortlist into one real order rather than a folder of catalogs. Choose the two or three suppliers whose answers were complete, send the first order to the one that answered best, and keep the others for a second line. The show has done its job when it produces a tested supplier rather than a bag of brochures.
Use the show to test the suppliers you already have. Asking every marked stand for the same two part numbers you buy regularly tells you in a morning whether your current price reflects the market, which is information a year of email will not give you.
If you cannot attend, the two-venue format changes nothing about how you order. Guangzhou Shenyue Machinery Technology Co., Ltd. exhibits at SNIEC, Hall E4, Booth E4.187, from November 24 to 27, 2026, but the same desk quotes by email in any month from the same numbers.
Watch for the grade convention, because it is where two similar prices usually differ. A genuine part, an OEM-quality equivalent and an aftermarket line can carry the same part number and three different prices, and the only honest way to compare them is a quotation that names the grade on every line. Guangzhou Shenyue Machinery Technology Co., Ltd. marks each quotation line as genuine, OEM-quality or aftermarket for exactly this reason.
Follow up within a week, while the conversations are still fresh. Ask each shortlisted supplier for the same two part numbers and set the replies side by side; a desk that can also say what it holds and what it sources will quote faster and argue less. Guangzhou Shenyue Machinery Technology Co., Ltd. pulls those quotes from 3,000+ part types on the shelf with 100,000+ part numbers available to order, and states the lead time on the lines it does not hold.
Need the parts this covers?
Send the machine model, serial number and the part numbers you need. We confirm fitment before payment and state the grade of every line — genuine, OEM-quality or aftermarket.
Request a quoteFrequently asked
Do the two venues need two separate tickets?
No. One visitor registration covers the whole show at both venues, and it is free until 00:00 on November 21, 2026, on the official site. SWEECC runs November 23 to 26, 2026, and SNIEC runs November 24 to 27, 2026, so the same badge works at both.
Which day should a parts buyer plan for?
Give each venue its own day. SWEECC opens a day earlier, so it is the natural first stop if you arrive for the full week, and SNIEC then takes the second day for the component and parts stands. Compressing both into one day leaves no time for the conversations that justify the trip.
Is it worth going if I already buy excavator parts from China?
Yes, but not to negotiate. If you already buy from a Chinese supplier, a show is the cheapest way to test whether your price reflects the market. Asking several stands for the same two part numbers tells you in a morning whether your current terms are reasonable, and that is information the show gives you more cheaply than any other route.
