Eight overseas pavilions to be expected
Following the news of the addition of a new exhibition hall to Asia’s largest and most comprehensive woodworking and furniture production trade fair, the organizers of CIFM / interzum guangzhou recently revealed the purpose of the added space. Slated to happen from March 28 – April 1, 2015 the 11-year old event will continue to be held alongside the China International Furniture Fair. This will be the first time Hall 12.1 of the Pazhou Complex is activated for the event, boosting the total exhibition area to 140,000 square meters, which is expected to host over 1,200 exhibitors and more than 62,000 visitors. The upholstered furniture market demand is closely tied to the real estate market, and with the accelerating urbanization, growth in urban population and the intensifying residential development in emerging markets in recent years, the region is increasingly becoming the world’s new growth market for upholstered furniture. The booming of the upholstered furniture industry in China has brought about the upholstery equipment manufacturers’ rising demand to participate in CIFM / interzum guangzhou. In 2015, show organizers will open up Hall 12.1, and will focus on product category revolving around Bedding Materials / Bedding Machinery / Cutting Machinery / Sewing Machinery and Woodworking Machinery. The new hall is expected to offer an opportunity for more quality brands to participate in CIFM / interzum guangzhou 2015. Despite injecting nearly 10,000 additional square meters, the event is still heavily oversubscribed. Spaces at international halls 11.1, 12.1, 13.1, 14.1 and 15.1 have all been snapped up.
