The seasons alternate between cold and heat; time flows relentlessly.

Blinking already marks the "Little New Year."

People who have been busy striving for their dreams all year long.

We’ll clean and sweep today, bidding farewell to the old and welcoming the new.

The 103rd Labor Protection Fair, which concluded recently,

Also “pack and box up” past achievements.

Silently gathering strength, ready to embark on a new journey.

This one

It’s a tribute to great-power manufacturing.

From the Beijing-Zhangjiakou high-speed railway, which travels at 350 kilometers per hour, to the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge—a marvel spanning three regions—from the BeiDou satellite navigation system to China’s FAST, currently the world’s largest single-dish radio telescope, China’s robust manufacturing prowess is continually reshaping global perceptions. Behind each of these super-engineering projects, every critical national asset, and every cutting-edge technology lies not only the advancement and application of science and technology but also the tireless dedication and hard work of hundreds of millions of Chinese workers who steadfastly hold their posts and strive with all their might.

Since its establishment, the Labor Protection Association has consistently focused on the development of occupational safety and health protective equipment. Working hand in hand with labor protection enterprises, we continuously pursue innovation and breakthroughs. With comprehensive, cutting-edge technological products and keen, empathetic insights into customer needs, we carefully safeguard those who are striving hard for the vigorous development of China’s manufacturing sector, thereby ensuring the stable operation of our country’s manufacturing industry and national economy. From April 7 to 9, 2022, the 104th China Labor Protection Equipment Fair will soon make its debut at the Shanghai New International Expo Center. Together with the dedicated workers in the manufacturing industry, let’s join forces to celebrate the strength of “Made in China”!

As is well known, manufacturing is the foundation for establishing a nation, the driving force behind its prosperity, and the cornerstone of its strength. Since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2019, economies around the world have suffered severe blows, forcing a slowdown in the development of manufacturing. Against this backdrop, China has steadily and vigorously resumed production and work, playing the role of “firefighter” for global manufacturing and playing a vital part in ensuring the continued operation of the global manufacturing supply chain.

Under the pandemic, China’s manufacturing industry has demonstrated its distinct advantages in the global supply chain. This success is attributable not only to the decisive and rigorous epidemic prevention measures adopted by the Party and the government, but also to the indispensable support provided by occupational safety and health protective equipment. Whether it’s commercial exchanges within the supply chain, safe production in workshops, or the smooth functioning of society at large, all have benefited from the protection offered by safe and effective personal protective equipment and epidemic prevention products. These seemingly small items—such as masks, goggles, protective suits, and disinfectants—have nonetheless provided powerful impetus for Chinese manufacturing to forge ahead amid challenges.

In addition, as China transitions from a manufacturing giant to a manufacturing powerhouse, the continuous upgrading and iteration of occupational safety technologies and the ever-increasing protection for workers can significantly reduce production accidents, inspire workers to spontaneously enhance their labor efficiency and foster their innovative enthusiasm. These factors play a crucial role in driving the upgrading of the manufacturing industry.

In tribute to the manufacturing industry, which has persevered through thick and thin; to the industrious professionals who have tirelessly strived for the rise of manufacturing; and to the labor protection industry, which continuously innovates to ensure the safe and steady development of manufacturing—The 104th China International Fair for Labor Protection Supplies is eagerly awaiting your arrival. We invite you to join us in April’s vibrant Shanghai, where we’ll once again engage in a meaningful dialogue about the resilience and innovation driving the global labor protection industry.

Building on the tradition of previous Labor Protection Expos, which featured a comprehensive range of products and an exhaustive catalog, this year’s exhibition further refines its categorization to precisely highlight the themes of the exhibits. Whether it’s personal protective equipment, occupational clothing and materials, or safety production monitoring instruments, safety equipment, safety technology consulting and training services, and assessment and certification bodies—clearly defined zones and distinctive exhibition layouts will serve as powerful guides for visitors.

The rich array of industry forums—comprising over a dozen sessions—continues to deepen in scope and depth. In addition to lectures on labor protection technology exchanges, the lineup also includes new product launches, high-level summits, and media Q&A sessions, providing a platform for industry leaders and end-users to engage directly, explore innovative protection models, and share cutting-edge technological breakthroughs. The fall-protection demonstration area allows attendees to personally experience the critical importance of protective measures, while expert staff are on hand to provide hands-on instruction on how to properly use protective equipment.

In addition, the vibrant on-site raffles and the VIP lounge stocked with free coffee and snacks will add plenty of delightful touches to the exhibition, serving as a refreshing energy boost for visitors when they feel tired from browsing the show.

Such a high-profile exhibition naturally draws countless eyes. It’s estimated that the three-day event, spanning 80,000 square meters, will attract over 50,000 professional visitors. In addition to a large number of representatives from China’s core manufacturing sectors—including nuclear power, shipbuilding, railways, bridges, automobiles, steel, machine tools, precision machinery, electric power, construction, petroleum, chemical industry, aerospace, and pharmaceuticals—who will be attending to observe and make purchases, the exhibition has also attracted professional visitors from e-commerce, fast-moving consumer goods, home appliances, and other everyday-life industries. Moreover, the exhibition will enable off-site audiences to catch a glimpse of the grand spectacle and stay abreast of the latest trends in the protective equipment industry through cloud photo albums and live streaming broadcasts.
