FurniFab moves to the International Fairground
in Poznan from 8th to 10th March 2005
Seating and Upholstery Supplies Show from 8th to 10th March 2005

FurniFab, the Furniture Fabric Show in Poland, is moving from its previous location in the Top-Shopping-Center in Komorniki, to the Poznan International Fairground in the city centre. From 8th to 10th March 2005, Hall 6A will be devoted entirely to the latest introductions and new lines for the seating and upholstery industries, including numerous fabrics and prints, synthetic leathers, microfibres, fillings and cushions.

The organiser of the event is SURVEY Marketing + Consulting, well known for their ZOW events around the world. The change of location has been undertaken by the organisers to make Furnifab even more attractive for trade visitors. The International Fairground in Poznan offers excellent travel and infrastructure facilities for both exhibitors and visitors.

Edmund Lütkemeier, Sales Director for Furnifab states, "For the third edition of Furnifab in Poland in March 2005, we expect around 100 suppliers to the upholstery industry from within Poland and abroad to exhibit, including famous names from Belgium and Italy." A large proportion of FurniFab will major on practical, everyday products, but there will also be a strong presence trend setting and design-oriented lines to promote the positive mood of the show. Visitor advertising will be focussed strongly on the decision makers in the industry - in the fields of purchasing, design and product management. Ensuring that the right people attend is the key to effective and rapid business. Whilst Furnifab is primarily aimed at the Polish upholstery and seating market, neighbouring states on the Baltic and Slovakia and the Czech Republic will also be in evidence." At the new venue in the centre of Poznan, we expect over 2000 specialist trade visitors" said Mr Lütkemeier.

FurniFab in Poland will not, however, be the only suppliers' show for the upholstery trade in 2005. Alongside ZOW in Moscow, on 18th to 21st April, and at ZOW in Madrid from 7th to 10th June 2005, ZOW organisers, SURVEY, will provide suppliers in Russia and Spain the opportunity to present their products. Sales Manager, Mr Lütkemeier explained, "In these countries there is a strong demand for supplies to this branch of the furniture industry, as upholstery commands a major share of the total markets. With the three exhibitions, Furnifab becomes established in three major markets, strengthening its overall appeal, and, of course, we will take full advantage of the worldwide recognition given to the ZOW brand when promoting the events.
