18th Shanghai International Water Exhibition Review & Dragon Boat Festival Holiday Notice

The three-day 18th Shanghai International Water Exhibition (WATERTECH CHINA 2026) concluded successfully on June 11 at the National Exhibition and Convention Center (Hongqiao) in Shanghai. Tianjin Kailida Control Technology Development Co., Ltd. (KLD) dispatched our sales team to participate in the Shanghai show — the KLD30 Series and KLD60 Series — showcasing the technical capabilities of our independently developed Chinese-engineered products to the global water treatment industry. 

The Shanghai International Water Exhibition is a core platform for technology exchange, business matchmaking and forward-looking trends in the water treatment sector. Having been successfully held for eighteen editions to date, it remains an unmissable annual event for the global water treatment industry.

As the largest and most influential annual event in the water treatment industry, this year's Shanghai Water Exhibition brought together over 2,500 exhibiting brands from around the world, with an exhibition area exceeding 180,000 square meters. Over 80 high-level industry forums were held concurrently, attracting more than 100,000 professional visitors.

At Booth 6.1H157, the KLD exhibition stand drew several hundred industry clients over the three days, thanks to its innovative product designs and professional technical services. Notably, the number of overseas visitors at this year's exhibition was substantial — KLD products, with their key differentiators of compact size and reliable performance, attracted a large number of international professional visitors who stopped to engage in detailed discussions. On-site, the sales team actively conducted in-depth exchanges with clients from various countries and provided product samples to interested prospects, laying a solid foundation for future international market expansion. 

The live motorized valve operation demonstration unit set up at the booth visually showcased the products' response speed and modulating precision. The stable operation and smooth switching demonstrated earned unanimous praise from visiting clients.

The KLD30 Series miniature motorized valve (3 N·m) and the KLD60 Series compact motorized valve (6 N·m) both made their debut at this exhibition. Designed around the philosophy of "compact size, uncompromising reliability", the two new products precisely address the water treatment industry's trend toward equipment miniaturization and intelligence, becoming hot topics at the booth: 

• KLD30 Series: Tailored for precision applications such as water purification equipment, laboratory instruments and medical water systems. Supports 20+ control modes, with port sizes ranging from DN8 to DN25 and an IP67 protection rating. Its miniaturized body design was particularly well-received by clients with space-constrained installation scenarios;   

• KLD60 Series: Built for industrial-grade high-frequency operation in sectors such as water treatment, chemical processing, and food & beverage. It delivers a rated torque of 6 N・m, withstands medium temperatures up to 150°C, and enables tool-free quick maintenance.   

Throughout the exhibition, on-site demonstrations and technical presentations of the two new products prompted many new and existing clients to engage in in-depth discussions, effectively boosting brand awareness and market reach.

During the holiday period, factory production and logistics shipping will be suspended. Post-holiday orders will be scheduled for production in sequence based on order date. To ensure your project timelines are not affected, we recommend you plan your procurement in advance and place orders as early as possible. Communication channels will remain open during the holiday — for any urgent business needs, please contact your dedicated sales manager.
