The south-east Asia furniture exhibition season starts in less than a month and it looks like the first event will be significantly larger than expected.
The number of confirmed exhibitors for the Malaysian International Furniture Fair (MIFF) has surpassed the 500 mark and continues to grow.
The surge in demand for the March 1-4 show has raised prospects of closer to 600 exhibitors at the events two venues: World Trade Centre Kuala Lumpur (WTCKL) and Malaysia International Trade & Exhibition Centre (MITEC).
The bookings are matched by the brisk registration of thousands of buyers from 116 countries and regions, to date, all keen to reconnect with suppliers at the first furniture event of the year in Asia.
The show has attracted Malaysia’s industry heavyweights and other Asian producers from China, India, Indonesia, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam, and pavilions by Taiwan, Japan and South Korea.
China’s border reopening will bring more than 200 companies from several cities and the debut of Furniture China @Malaysia Show in MIFF for its first edition outside Shanghai.
‘We are extremely delighted that MIFF is now back to pre-pandemic scale. After the uncertainties of the past few years, the show boosts the growth of the global industry and trade. MIFF offers an incredible range of opportunities for our customers to grow their business and gain visibility among buyers all over the world. We welcome Furniture China and the brands it brings to add value to the exhibition and enhance the overall experience for our customers,’ says Kelie Lim, MIFF general manager.
