Guangzhou, China / 17 January 2019
In its continuous efforts to stay ahead of market trends, Asia’s largest trade fair for furniture production, woodworking machinery and interiors is ready to cater to the tide of industry development come March 28.
With a strong lineup of activities covering key areas such as Industry 4.0, intelligent production and the huge demand for cross-platform cooperation, CIFM / interzum guangzhou will be the focal point of more than 1,500 exhibitors from home and abroad as well as the global furniture manufacturing industry.
A magnet for international organizations & brands
The German pavilion will feature a number of furniture production companies including Lehmann, Jowat and GreCon. Similarly, the American Hardwood Export Council (AHEC) pavilion will bring together premium wood suppliers from the United States, including American Lumber, Baillie Lumber, Northwest Hardwoods and Blue Mountain Hardwood.

Not to be outdone, the Malaysian Timber Council and French Timber, together with pavilions from Turkey, US/Canada and South Korea will also bring with them the finest products from their respective countries to the four-day show.
Among them, the Turkish brands are a highlight of this year's edition. In recent years, the Turkish furniture industry has evolved into a driving force of the local economy.

As another pillar industry of Turkey, the textile industry has promoted the development of the country’s raw materials industry for upholstered furniture. Globally renowned mattress fabric manufacturers including Aydin, Comfytex and Boyteks Tekstil will be present at the show.
