Booth 3F28 | Hall 3H | Shanghai New International Expo Centre | July 4–7, 2026
Shanghai, China — July 2026 — As a long-standing exhibitor, FCS Tool Steel participated in DMC China 2026, one of Asia’s leading exhibitions for the die, mould, tooling, and precision manufacturing industries. The event brings together mold makers, industrial suppliers, and global steel distributors to explore the latest tooling materials and manufacturing solutions.
At Booth 3F28, FCS showcased its factory-direct manufacturing capabilities and a comprehensive range of hot work, cold work, and plastic mould steels, including H13 (1.2344), D2 (1.2379), SKD11, SKD61, D6, and 1.2316, produced to GB, ASTM, DIN EN, JIS, and GOST standards.
The exhibition focused on serving global distributors, wholesalers, stockists, trading companies, seeking bulk supply, full-process manufacturing, and custom tool steel solutions backed by stable quality and reliable delivery.
About FCS Steel
Hubei Fucheng has been pouring steel since August 2007 in Huangshi City, Hubei Province. That region carries a strong reputation — the Chinese steel industry calls it the cradle of steel. That history matters. The company at Booth D118 is not a trading house that rebranded itself as a “manufacturer.” It’s the real thing.
- Years of Operation: Over 19 years of dedicated tool steel manufacturing expertise.
- Facility Scale: 40,000 m² of active workshop space spread across 65 acres.
- Production Capacity: 25,000 tons annually (scalable to 50k), plus 10,000 tons of strategic inventory.
- Global Export Reach: Proudly shipping to distributors and stockists in over 30 countries.
- Technical Reports: EN 10204 3.1 Mill Test Certificates and full defect traceability for every batch.
- Main Products: Premium Hot Work (H13/1.2344), Cold Work (D2/1.2379), and Plastic Mould Steel (1.2738 QT).
What this means at the booth: ask a technical question, and the person in front of you can trace the answer back to a specific furnace run. That’s rare at trade shows. At DMC China 2026, with FCS Tool Steel, it’s just how things work.
Why DMC China Matters
As the global tooling industry continues to evolve, DMC China has become more than a trade exhibition—it is a key platform where manufacturers, distributors, and industrial buyers explore the technologies and supply chains shaping the future of manufacturing.
- China’s Advanced Manufacturing Ecosystem
China continues to strengthen its position as a global manufacturing hub, supported by advanced forging, precision machining, automation, and integrated production capabilities, making DMC an important sourcing destination for international buyers. - Rising Demand from High-Growth Industries
Rapid growth in new energy vehicles (EVs), semiconductors, aerospace, consumer electronics, and precision engineering is driving demand for higher-performance tool steels with greater wear resistance, thermal stability, and longer service life. - Smarter & More Sustainable Manufacturing
Manufacturers are increasingly investing in intelligent production, energy-efficient processes, digital quality control, and lower-carbon manufacturing, accelerating the adoption of premium tooling materials and reliable production partners. - Resilient Global Supply Chains
As global sourcing strategies continue to diversify, buyers are placing greater emphasis on factory capability, stable supply, international standards, and long-term manufacturing partnerships rather than price alone.

Customer Conversations at the Booth
During DMC China 2026, conversations focused on sourcing decisions, pricing, and supply chain evaluation.
Visitors compared current suppliers and assessed whether switching to factory-direct sourcing made sense, especially for bulk purchasing and cost control.
Material substitution was frequently discussed, including D2 / 1.2379, H13 / 1.2344, and SKD11 / SKD61, with focus on interchangeability and processing compatibility.
Batch consistency and long-term stability were key concerns for repeat production orders.
Requirements such as dimensions, machining condition, and heat treatment states were also reviewed for large-volume applications.
Overall topics centered on pricing, lead time, substitution risk, and supply reliability in real production conditions.
