presented by interzum events have proved to be an extremely
attractive combination for serious players in the furniture
manufacturing industry.  I am confident that this year's

with the global industry to enhance future prospects for
exhibitors and visitors alike," says Mr. Udo Traeger,

and will host pavilions from Germany, Italy, Taiwan and

interzum guangzhou can provide together with the China
International Furniture Fair, especially since both shows
are based in one of the largest furniture manufacturing
bases in the world," adds Mr. Michael Dreyer, Vice
President Asia Pacific of Koelnmesse. "We can bring
together international and local players while offering
insights into manufacturing and finished products.  It is
an ideal environment for growth and success."
