Counting down for Interzum China

As Asia’s leading event in woodworking machinery, furniture production and interior design industry, CIFM / interzum guangzhou was first introduced into the China market in 2004.

The event originated from interzum by Koelnmesse GmbH, one of the largest trade fair companies in the world with over 80 years of professional experience.

The fair will be stepping into a new decade in its coming edition. The new beginning also welcomes some changes with the exhibition period extended by one day to five days, and new show dates from March 28-April 1 in 2014.

Over 1,100 manufacturers and suppliers are expected to occupy the 130,000-square meter venue in the event’s namesake city in China with 60,000 visitors to be anticipated.

The exhibitor lineup boasts major industry players with the likes of:

• Homag, IMA, Vollmer, Duerkopp, Pfaff, Wemhoener, Beland, SCM, HSD, Leitz, Paolino Bacci, Dimar Precision, Fengchaou, Wood-Mizer and Freud at Hall 11.1

• AGT, FGV, Repon, Lion Rock Group, Titus, King Slide, Topslide、Hanstar, Litong, Cyber Lock, Reggar and Italiana Ferramenta at Hall 14.1

In addition to independent exhibitors, 2014 will also see strong group participation showing with pavilions from Germany, the US/Canada, the American Hardwood Export Council, Italy, Turkey, Spain and Sweden.

Debuting at interzum guangzhou, the Swedish pavilion is expected to capture eyeballs and foot traffic with the country’s superior wood quality and, without doubt, its famed Scandinavian designs and concepts for furniture components.

On the sidelines, the well-attended seminars in 2013 will once again be featured next year with updated themes and topics, together with the popular mini wine bar, which will all be at the Piazza hospitality lounge housed under the roof of International Hall 14.1.

This year, the global furniture market has started warming up, particularly in China where the growing real estate industry and continuing urbanization have bolstered domestic demand for woodworking and related furniture products.

After the 10-year development, CIFM / interzum guangzhou has grown to be one of the largest trade fairs in the sector in Asia. In 2014, CIFM / interzum guangzhou will welcome its 11th edition and be held once again in conjunction with the China International Furniture Fair (CIFF) from 28 March to 1 April 2014.
