Reflections from ASE 2025 – Shanghai, China
September 23–25, 2025
Attending the Adhesive and Sealant Expo (ASE) at SNIEC in Shanghai this September was both a professional milestone and a personal reflection point for me. My first trip to China was back in 2003, and since then I have returned nearly ten times. Each visit reminds me how fast China moves, how quickly it adapts, and how global industry must evolve to keep pace.
This year’s ASE was especially meaningful because it marked the first time Teckrez had a booth at the show. Creating a presence on the show floor allowed us to do more than just attend — we became a destination for both our suppliers and customers. Our team designed a booth that provided a comfortable, efficient space for meetings, which fostered meaningful conversations about resin supply, market challenges, and innovation opportunities. Those connections are critical as we continue to navigate a market that is increasingly global and interconnected, with supply chain resilience and collaboration more important than ever.
