19th ICOSPA Congress for the first time held in China, which will certainly promote the progress of Chinese sheet metal forming industry, and will bring a great impact on the development and growth of the world’s sheet metal forming industry.

The modern sheet metal forming industry in China, gotten off the ground in the 1950s, and shaped in the 1980s, has been developed in recent decades. There is little communication in sheet metal forming between China and abroad until 2005. After nearly ten years of continuous and unremitting efforts, CCMI has not only established a stable relationship between China and world’s sheet metal forming industry, but also pushed Chinese metal forming industry going towards the world gradually!

No matter in China or the global sheet metal forming industry, there are still many problems existed waiting for solving and resolving. Unfortunately, the problems existed has not been settled completely, which may be replaced by the new ones, that has been brought out and troubled of us. It is the fact, in the moment, how we adapt to the huge changes and rapid development of this era. Where we go?
