January’s Heimtextil exhibition has sold out its dedicated carpet and rug hall.
The show’s decision to open the new hall to consolidate existing exhibitors and attract new ones has seen about 100 manufacturers and brands sign up, including a strong increase in suppliers of machine-woven carpets such as Merinos Hali, Oriental Weavers Group, Ragolle Rugs, Universal XXI, Verbatex and the Belgian association Fedustria and its members.
‘With Carpets and Rugs, we are establishing a fixed annual date for the industry. This is why it was crucial for us right from the start to showcase the diverse range within the fitted carpet segment and to attain a well-balanced mix of products. We’re delighted that we managed to accomplish this so effectively from the beginning,’ says Bettina Bär, Heimtextil director.
