The March event of CHIC Shanghai will take place in Shenzhen in July. Due to the global corona epidemic, Asia’s leading fashion and lifestyle fair CHIC Shanghai could not be held as planned from March 11th to 13th, 2020 in Shanghai.

  • CHIC Online from April 22nd to 24th, 2020
  • Date of the autumn event of CHIC Shanghai: September 23-25, 2020

The ongoing worldwide epidemic situation does not allow China's control and prevention measures tobe relaxed. It is not possible to have a catch-up  date  of  the  spring  event  of  CHIC  March  before  the  autumn  event  of CHIC September in Shanghai due to logistical reasons. "For  our  exhibitors  and  visitors,  the  industry  and  trade,  the  contact  with the market is essential. It is important to start business again as soon as possible and to find the way back to normal. By exceptionally holding the spring   event  of   CHIC Shanghai   in   Shenzhenin   July, CHIC  as  a longstanding   partner   of   the   industry wants   to provide   it with   the necessary  platform to  do  so."  Chen  Dapeng,  President  of  CHIC  and China National Garment Association.

The  trade  show  location  Shenzhen  is  considered  China's  "boomtown" and one of the most dynamic cities in the world. The concept, one place -one  date -four  shows, that  has  proven  itself  in  Shanghai  for  years,  is continued here.

The Sandler Group has presented its financial figures for the past fiscal year (01/01/2025-12/31/2025). Like previous years, the year 2025 was also marked by industry-wide structural challenges and geopolitical uncertainties. Turnover was virtually stable at EUR 321 million (2024: EUR 326 million). High energy costs continue to weigh heavily on profitability. The number of employees was 975 (2024: 980). The family-owned company, which was founded in 1879 and has been run by the fifth generation since August 2025, continues to invest millions in its Schwarzenbach site despite the high production costs in Germany. As part of the long-term corporate strategy, the management team is focusing on strict cost management, further development of the product portfolio, and greater efficiency in production and administrative processes. The company does not expect a market recovery in 2026 and 2027.
