DOMOTEX asia/CHINAFLOOR :: It will require four dedicated halls to house just the wood and laminate exhibitions at DOMOTEX asia/CHINAFLOOR’s 17th annual flooring show March 24-26, 2015 in Shanghai. The current number of international brands booked for this specific product category has already reached the final 2014 brands’ registration number 5 months before the next show opening. The international wood flooring brands increased by 50% compared to the same period last year.
For the whole wood and laminate flooring sector, including international and domestic exhibitors, DOMOTEX asia/CHINAFLOOR organizers have already received a record of booths’ booking which forecasts an increase of companies’ participation in this particular section, confirming the leading position of DOMOTEX asia/CHINAFLOOR as the biggest wood and laminate flooring exhibition in the world.
Among the international wood and laminate flooring exhibitors are Kronoswiss, Kronotex, Lamett, Beaulieu, Ter Hürne, Parla, Stile, Egger, Berry Alloc, Witex, Floover, Tilo, BKB and SE Timber Floors while some of Asia’s more well-known domestic exhibitors include Nature, Sunyard, Yihua, Boer, Jinqiao, Teclic, and Huaming will showcase their latest floorings as well.
SE Timber Floors, the largest supplier of wood floors in Sydney, is returning to the 2015 show after a successful exhibition last year where Managing Director Zak Refai said they were surprised and pleased by the number of international visitors coming by their stand to view their products. Mr. Zak Refai is using the Shanghai show as a dual resource to expand SE Timber Floors into the Chinese market. Interviewed by DOMOTEX asia/CHINAFLOOR in last September, Refai said: “I understand that the DOMOTEX show in Shanghai is the largest wood flooring show in the world. Other than just bringing all the people from China, the show also brings people from abroad…We have professional visitors from all over the world come to our stand and talk to us.”
Total exhibition space, including all flooring products categories, is already 81% sold.
Last year the full flooring show hosted nearly 1200 exhibitors from across the industry with about 22% representing international companies from outside of China. In all, the 2015 show will encompass 12 halls covering 140,000 square meters of exhibit space.
In 2015, Lead Marketing returns to enrich the experience and return on investment for both visitors and exhibitors. The Lead Marketing program is designed to increase visitor traffic at exhibitor booths and to help the roughly 42,000 visitors identify exhibitors that match their areas of interest. It allows visitors and exhibitors to make appointments in advance of the show and provides a host of other marketing services for exhibitors. DOMOTEX asia/CHINAFLOOR offers to all exhibitors the so called “Lead Marketing

Thanks to a new visitors invitation ranking code system, organizes will track the number of visitors registered for each exhibitor.
