CIFM / interzum guangzhou opened its gates from today, March 28 and is going to run till March 31. Entering its 15th edition, the exhibition has developed into a premier platform for regional buyers to source for furniture production equipment, raw materials, and offers a window into the industry’s future.
Billed as Asia’s largest and most comprehensive woodworking machinery, furniture materials and interior decor trade fair, the four-day gathering promises to deliver an all-new experience to nearly 80,000 industry insiders from over 100 countries and regions who are expected to descend at the event.
Once again, this year’s CIFM/interzum guangzhou is held in conjunction with the second installment of the famed China International Furniture Fair (CIFF). The parallel events serve as a one-stop sourcing platform to meet the different needs of buyers.
CIFM / interzum guangzhou covers an area of 150,000 square meters and spans 17 exhibition halls over Area B and C of Pazhou Complex. Area B is dedicated to machinery exhibits, comprising machinery and related tools for woodworking, mattress, cutting and sewing, while Area C is focused on furniture accessories. Displays include furniture hardware and accessories, wood panels, countertops, surfaces, wood products, adhesives, fillers, upholstery accessories, pneumatic components, and interior decoration materials.
The international exhibits zone takes up Hall 11.1 and 12.1 in Area B, and Hall 14.1 and 15.1 in Area C comprehensively showcasing quality raw materials and machinery from abroad.
“interzum guangzhou is built upon the role model of interzum, the world’s leading furniture production trade fair in Cologne, Germany, with almost 60 years of history. After 15 years of hard work, I’m very pleased to see that the interzum brand is fully established and flourishes in China. Our exhibitors regularly give great recognition to the interzum guangzhou platform and are optimistic about the future potential of China.”
“Moving forward, we will keep on working hard to bring even more international advanced furniture manufacturing product concepts and cutting-edge technology to China,” said Mr Denis Steker, Vice President International / Outbound Fairs of Koelnmesse GmbH.
In view of the strong growth potential for customized furniture, a Custom Furniture Suppliers zone will be launched at International Hall 14.1 to provide a one-stop sourcing platform showcasing materials such as hardware components, wood panels, edge banding, worktops and surfaces for manufacturers and interior designers.
Some 1,459 top suppliers from 38 countries and regions are raring to welcome buyers from all over the world. This year, the event features eight national and industry-led pavilions from Germany, US/Canada, Turkey, Canada Wood, Quebec Wood Export Bureau, French Timber, American Hardwood Export Council and Malaysian Timber Council.
Another noteworthy offering of CIFM / interzum guangzhou each year is undoubtedly its lineup of seminars, technical exchanges, conferences and product launches at the International Halls.
