The world’s leading trade fair for flooring and carpets, DOMOTEX, will once again unite both worlds at the Hannover exhibition grounds from 11 – 14 January 2024. Major international brand manufacturers have already announced their participation in the upcoming edition, underscoring the global significance of DOMOTEX.
Following a successful comeback at the beginning of the year, numerous registrations are already promising the 34th edition of the world’s leading trade fair for carpets and floor coverings to become a strong event.
“The response to DOMOTEX 2024 has been huge, with many global brand manufacturers already confirming their participation,” notes Sonia Wedell-Castellano, Global Director DOMOTEX at Deutsche Messe AG. “The current number of registrations has not only exceeded last year’s figures, but we’re also approaching the size we had in 2020 once again. This underscores the importance of DOMOTEX in its role as a global marketplace and a source of inspiration for the entire industry.”
In the hand-made carpets segment, top exhibitors such as Tisca Textil, Jaipur Rugs, Bhadohi Carpets, Paulig and Ipek – A. Ipektchi confirmed their participation. Also registered are Javi Home and Tepp Team. In the field of machine-made carpets, Oriental Weavers, Merinos, Ragolle, Balta Industries, Fedustria, Robusta, Otto Golze and Brink & Campmann have announced to return to DOMOTEX in 2024 to show their latest products.
For Caglar Kepekci, General Manager of Merinos, taking part in the upcoming DOMOTEX is a must: “Our experience as exhibitors at DOMOTEX has been exceptional – and this for almost three decades. From global exposure and networking opportunities to staying up to date on industry trends and new products, DOMOTEX has consistently played a pivotal role for the carpet industry. We eagerly look forward to each edition of the fair, including the upcoming DOMOTEX Hannover ’24.”

Furthermore, Neuhofer, SELIT, Välinge, Estillon, ADESIV, KLEIBERIT and i4F from the application and installation technology sector have also announced their participation.
“DOMOTEX is the meeting point for the European and international flooring industry. It is the ideal platform for us to stay in touch with our customers and prospects as well as to establish new business relationships. We are looking forward to participating in 2024”, reveals Guido Schulte, Managing Partner of MeisterWerke. Niclas Håkansson, Managing Director of Välinge, is likewise looking forward to the reunion in Hannover in January 2024: “We were positively surprised about the number of qualified visitors and business opportunities in 2023 – despite the difficult world situation. This shows that DOMOTEX remains an important platform for the industry. We are very satisfied with the visitor’s quality and internationality.”
