April marks a season of all things thriving, and a prime period to connect opportunities and discuss joint development.

On April 21, 2026, CHINAPLAS 2026 (the 38th China International Plastics & Rubber Industry Exhibition) grandly kicked off at the National Exhibition and Convention Center (Hongqiao), Shanghai.

As the largest grand event for food processing and packaging industry across ASEAN, this exhibition gathers over 360 global exhibitors and draws nearly ten thousand professional visitors, serving as a strategic platform to explore the Southeast Asian market. Statistics show that Vietnam’s food and beverage market exceeded 67 billion US dollars in 2025, ranking the second largest consumer market in ASEAN. With accelerated capacity expansion by international investors and local leading enterprises, market demand for complete sets of equipment such as dairy filling and aseptic packaging keeps rising steadily.

As a vital segment of the non-standard manufacturing sector, the liquid product packaging machinery industry is generally characterized by multi-variety, small-batch production. Coupled with such industry pain points as long manufacturing cycles, uneven order distribution and frequent changes in customer demands, traditional manufacturing models can no longer meet the requirements of high-quality development. Against this backdrop, Tech-Long seized the opportunity of its plant expansion and renovation project, with the core objectives of addressing industry pain points and leading industrial upgrading. In the planning of its new factory, it deeply integrated cutting-edge manufacturing concepts with intelligent technologies, striving to build a brand-new smart manufacturing system that integrates flexible production, efficient assembly, precise quality control, and intelligent logistics, sophisticated production scheduling and AI-enabled services. It injects strong impetus into the high-quality development of the packaging machinery industry through manufacturing model innovation.
