The 19th edition of DOMOTEX asia/CHINAFLOOR will take place on March 21 to 23, 2017, at the Shanghai New International Expo Center. Seven months before the gates are due to open, 13 percent more display space has already been booked as compared to last year. Being one of the leading trade fairs in the Asia-Pacific region catering to the flooring industry, the event continues to expand and its international profile in 2017 will be stronger than ever.
The exhibition space embraces twelve halls. Five halls are dedicated to carpets, rugs and runners, and four to parquet and laminate flooring, as well as to cork, bamboo and other hard floor products and the FloorTech display. The remaining three halls have been allocated to resilient floor coverings for domestic, commercial and industrial applications. At the heart of the extremely popular wood flooring category, a new special display area will accommodate the exhibits of manufacturers of ceramic tiles and WPC outdoor decking.

They will be joined by big names in the wood flooring industry such as Amorim, Alsapan, Classen, the French Timber Association, Haro, Swiss Krono Group and Välinge, as well as Balta, Boyteks, Jaipur, Nishaburi, Oriental Weavers and Suminoe from the carpet industry.
