Nearly 30 companies from Shanghai's Putuo district are attending the ninth China International Import Expo, where several are showcasing products already produced locally.

Fosun Pharma, an exhibitor for nine consecutive years, is displaying the fifth-generation da Vinci surgical robot, which has evolved from an imported exhibit into a market-ready product produced locally.

Breas Medical, the Swedish respiratory care company Fosun acquired in 2017, marked its 35th year with the global debut of its iSleep device at the expo. Its production line is on North Nujiang Road in Putuo, where the company began localized manufacturing after securing a Shanghai medical device registration certificate in 2020, closing the loop from registration to production.

STERIS, a global infection prevention and control company, established its China headquarters in Changfeng in November 2022 and began domestic production in April 2024. Schneider Electric, which has been based in Putuo since 1996, is exhibiting at the CIIE for the ninth consecutive year. GE Aerospace, which established its regional headquarters in Putuo in 2023, is showcasing a 1:2 scale model of its LEAP-1C engine.

Putuo saw 203 key projects land in the first nine months of 2026, and its GDP reached 134.4 billion yuan (about $20.13 billion), up 8.3 percent year-on-year at comparable prices.
