Shanghai, China – R+T Asia, the premier event in the Asia Pacific region for the sun shading and door/gate industries, is gearing up to host its 19th edition from 28th to 30th May 2024. Set to take place in Shanghai, the event continues to garner significant interest from both domestic and international attendees, cementing its status as a truly global platform.
With over 750 exhibitors expected to showcase their latest innovations across 120,000 square metres of exhibition space, R+T Asia 2024 is poised to be one of the most solid events yet.
Early indications from the online visitor registration system suggest an increase in international participation compared to the 2023 edition, propelled in part by favourable visa conditions for citizens of select countries as Germany, France, Italy, Spain, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Ireland, Hungary, Austria, Belgium, Luxembourg, Thailand, Malaysia, and Singapore, which can now access China without a visa.
In 2024, the show will once again welcome national and overseas groups of manufacturers, wholesalers, distributors, agents, import and export professionals, architects, interior designers, industry opinion leaders, and more to forge connections, meet current and potential suppliers, and discuss industry challenges and solutions.
The organiser invites all visitors to register online to obtain complimentary and expedited access to the show, as well as access to the exhibitor list. Interested visitors can make a quick online registration at https://en.rtasia.net/.
“Expanding upon the achievements of the 2023 edition, R+T Asia remains the preeminent networking and business platform in the APAC region," said David Zhong, President of GLOBUS Events (formerly VNU Exhibitions Asia), the show co-organiser.”
“As a dedicated B2B event with a strong emphasis on trade, our primary objective is to optimize the alignment of demand and supply and to foster the participation of international professionals, allowing them to benefit from the vast opportunities offered by Asian markets to the industry,” continued Zhong.
To achieve this, the show is actively developing targeted matchmaking initiatives both prior to and during the event. For instance, the organiser is releasing an upgraded system where attendees will have the opportunity to browse and find desired exhibitors online, connect with them before the show, and schedule meetings in advance. Additionally, the show is introducing the new edition of the Hosted Buyer program, offering exclusive benefits to independent buyers who meet specific criteria.

International delegates attending R+T Asia will have access to tailored business sessions, providing them with the opportunity to forge partnerships with regional stakeholders, associations, and media partners.
ACMI, the Italian Door and Shutter Association, is pleased to announce its partnership with R+T Asia for the second time, bringing Italian manufacturers of doors and shutters for residential and industrial applications, producers of drive systems, mechanical components, and integrated accessories to the Hosted Buyer Programme.
“Events like R+T Asia 2024 offer invaluable networking opportunities,” remarked Nicola Fornarelli, President of ACMI. "They allow the members of ACMI to connect with industry peers, potential partners, and key stakeholders, fostering collaborations and driving business growth.”
“Now that China is easier to access than ever before, with free visa access for Italian citizens," continued Fornarelli, "we are excited to return, this time with new companies in Shanghai. We look forward to once again joining forces with the organizers of R+T Asia to facilitate visitation for our members.”
Assotende, a symbol of innovation and unity in the sun shading sector, driven by passion and commitment to promote energy efficiency and foster collaboration among companies, is a leading Italian association for its industry. For the first time, Assotende will partner with R+T Asia in 2024, and both partners are excited to announce their collaboration to bring a delegation of buyers from Italy for the first time.
The Secretary of Assotende, Abramo Barlassina, expressed his enthusiasm, stating, “We are delighted to initiate this partnership with the organisers of R+T Asia 2024 to facilitate the attendance of a buyer group from Italy. This presents an excellent opportunity for our members to forge new connections and partnerships with suppliers in the Asian market. Participating in events like R+T Asia 2024 provides a platform for our members to explore new markets and expand their global reach.”
R+T Asia has also implemented strong national and international promotional campaigns through esteemed industry media partners from the APAC region. Additionally, various international industry journalists are planning to visit the show this year.
“We are excited to be part of R+T Asia show once again to share exhibited products and technologies with our professional readers in Asia Pacific region,” said Eric Ooi, Associate Publisher of Southeast Asia Building magazine.
“With R+T Asia set to attract industry professionals, exhibitors, and enthusiasts globally, Southeast Asia Building aims to be the platform to build wider brand awareness and connect buyers to sellers by delivering exclusive editorial content that captures the essence of R+T Asia 2024,” concluded Mr. Ooi.
Given Asia’s, particularly China’s, pivotal role as a vital sourcing market for professionals in these sectors, R+T Asia 2024 reaffirms its position as a cornerstone event for industry advancement. Despite global economic challenges, China’s commitment to openness and international partnerships reinforces its pivotal role in the global supply chain.
