More than 100 fitness equipment companies from Ningjin and Tianjin organized a group to appear at the FIBO exhibition in Germany, demonstrating China's intelligent manufacturing strength
From April 16th to 19th, the International Fitness and Sports Facilities Expo (FIBO) in Cologne, Germany, was held as scheduled. Ningjin County, Shandong Province organized more than 100 companies to participate in the exhibition, of which more than 30 fitness equipment companies made a concentrated appearance, with an exhibition area of nearly 5,000 square meters. It became the largest Chinese regional pavilion at this exhibition, demonstrating the intelligent manufacturing capabilities of China's fitness equipment to the world.
As the largest commercial fitness equipment production base in the country, Ningjin has built an industrial cluster with the most complete categories of fitness equipment manufacturing in the world. There are nearly 4,000 fitness equipment and upstream and downstream supporting companies in the county. 98% of the core parts have achieved local independent and controllable production. It has built a full-chain industrial ecosystem from raw material supply to finished product export, and created an efficient and accurate one-stop procurement service platform for global merchants.
During the exhibition, Ningjin exhibitors concentrated on displaying more than 200 series and more than 2,000 full-category products including aerobics, strength, wellness, and Pilates, accurately matching the procurement needs of different markets and diverse application scenarios around the world. The exhibits cover smart treadmills, AI strength equipment, portable fitness equipment, etc., which are both technological and practical. Many of the new products use lightweight materials and intelligent interactive technology, attracting a large number of overseas buyers to stop for consultation and discuss cooperation.
It is understood that Ningjin fitness equipment products have been exported to more than 170 countries and regions, and 1 out of every 3 commercial fitness venues in the world uses fitness equipment manufactured by Ningjin. In 2025, the output value of Ningjin's fitness equipment industry will exceed 17 billion yuan, and product exports will increase by 22.3% year-on-year. This group participation in the exhibition is a concrete manifestation of Ningjin's insistence on the development model of "the government sets the stage and enterprises perform" and aims to enhance the regional public brand influence of "Ningjin Fitness Equipment" through internationally renowned exhibition platforms.
At the event site, many Ningjin companies reached cooperation intentions with buyers from Europe, America, Southeast Asia and other regions, and the contract amounts were considerable. The person in charge of the exhibiting companies said that they will take this exhibition as an opportunity to learn from international advanced technologies and concepts, continue to optimize product processes, improve product quality, and further expand the global market. In the future, Ningjin will continue to organize companies to participate in various international exhibitions and promote the transformation of the fitness equipment industry to high-end and internationalization.
