Shanghai, China, December 30--The growth of the Domotex/Asia ChinaFloor continues: over 600 exhibitors will show their products to an estimated 20,000 visitors, and all major Chinese floor covering producers and buyers will be in attendance in Shanghai from March 22 to March 24, 2005.
The international dimension is becoming extremely important, as every year more international companies show their products and international professionals continue to search for sound business deals and sourcing possibilities.
To make room for the enlargement of former exhibitors and new exhibiting companies, the organizers -- VNU Exhibitions, Deutsche Messe AG and Chinafloors -- have reserved an extra hall. Now, four large halls of the Shanghai New International Exhibition Centre will be set aside to accommodate the record number of exhibitors.
The organizers have already welcomed more than 400 exhibitors. Among these are world players like Forbo Flooring, Gerflor and KronoSwiss in hall 2 and market leaders in carpet like Al-Sorayai and Balta in hall 1.
The China Laminate Flooring Association will have presentations by their members in hall 3. This association consists of 15 important companies like Kronosenhua, Power Dekor, Vöhringer and Huili.
In hall 1, pavilions from Belgium, Germany, and the Netherlands (among others) will again be present, but this year’s installment also welcomes representatives from some new nations. One of these new nations includes Malaysia, represented by the Malaysian Timber Council.
There will be a lot of activities during the show, including an extensive seminar program that will present to the visitors crucial market information and the latest in industry innovations. Also, the third installment of the C+D Asia conference will be held in order to once again attract top architects to Shanghai.
