CBE Shanghai, May 2026
CBE Shanghai 2026: a technology wall instead of a product wall, and a cutaway unit on the counter so buyers could see what is inside.

CBE Shanghai in May 2026 was the middle of our three shows that year, and the booth answered a question that comes up at every beauty-industry show: what is actually inside the device.
The wall was technology, not products
Instead of product panels, the back wall carried the modalities a device can combine — EMS, vibration, light therapy, thermal control, RF, skin diagnostics, microneedling — with the product renders sitting on top of them.
That framing matches how brand buyers actually brief a project: they arrive with a modality and a price point, not with a model number.

A cutaway on the counter
The most useful object on the counter was a transparent demonstration unit. Buyers photograph it, because a device with the housing removed answers three questions at once: how the mechanism is built, how much of it is custom, and whether the supplier is comfortable showing it.
That is also the argument for visiting the plant. A factory visit is the same exercise at full scale.
International buyers
Shanghai draws buyers from outside China as well as domestic brands, and the questions split accordingly: domestic brands asked about packaging and range planning; overseas buyers asked about certification scope and shipping terms first.
What came out of it
Several conversations that started at this booth continued at the plant in Shenzhen the same month. If you were at the show and did not get to the questions you wanted to ask, they are all answerable by email — contact us or start with a quote request.
