Heimtextil’s new dedicated flooring section continues to attract new participants.
Organiser Messe Frankfurt says more than 75 international manufacturers of fitted, hand-woven, custom-made or machine-woven carpets, mats, runners and rugs are planning to exhibit in Hall 5.1, with other interested manufacturers ‘on the horizon.’
‘The high number of new exhibitors underlines the positive response to the launch of the carpets and rugs product segment and offers buyers the opportunity to network with new suppliers. This rounding off makes Heimtextil an even more diverse and comprehensive business platform,’ says Bettina Bär, Heimtextil home textiles segment director.
Participating exhibitors include: Oriental Weavers Group, Rugs Inc, Mittal International, The Rug Republic, Sarla Handicrafts, Flora International, Heritage Overseas, Rugs in Style, Fini Cop, Royaltex, Nikotex Carpets and Vini Decor.
‘We return to Heimtextil with high expectations – and are sure they will be exceeded with the launch of carpets and rugs. The opening is a great occasion to present for the first time our new sustainable handmade indoor and outdoor product collections in both high volume and retail quantities. Thanks to the high internationality of Heimtextil and the attraction of the new area, we look forward to new global contacts with influential buyers’, says Aditya Gupta, The Rug Republic founder.
‘We are very pleased about the strong presence of international manufacturers, whose pronounced degree of professionalisation, outstanding quality and strong commitment to environmental protection and corporate social responsibility play a significant role in the global carpet business. The high degree of internationalisation at Heimtextil enables them to network, especially with new contacts from relevant sales markets such as North America, Europe or the UAE,’ says Bär.
