EXPOPROMUEBLE

The contribution of ExpoPromueble is noteworthy to the development of the industry : Gianni Ghizzoni, Past President of EUMABOIS was present at the opening and throughout the 4 days of the exhibition Once again, a well known and influential person in first world technology, Ghizzoni Gianni , former president of the EUMABOIS , attended ExpoPromueble & Technology. He considers this event of vital importance for the development and growth of the furniture industry in Mexico. During the opening ceremony, he acknowledged the growth that this show has had not only as an exhibit, but in the number and quality of exhibitors. He noted that over time the event has gone beyond borders and integrated an increasing number of new European firms wishing to enter the Mexican market and offer machinery and technology. As the person responsible for leading the European Federation of Associations of Manufacturers of Woodwork Machinery, he congratulated the organizers for their work of 20 years, and said that he was convinced that the furniture industry in Mexico has much future. It is thanks to these exhibits, he noted, that manufacturers can access robotic technology to improve production quality and increase productivity, factors that ultimately can lead the industry to be more competitive internationally. ExpoPromueble: An event that exceeds its own expectations Exhibiting firms competed in quality, service and value against homologous firms. Over 30 thousand square meters of exhibits ExpoPromueble and Technology meets its goal as the exhibit that brings together the national furniture industry. This year, it celebrated 20 years of uninterrupted history. The event exceeded sales and the expectations of exhibitors even when participating firms were cautious about broadcasting their operations. The number of professional buyers who came to the event looking for a good sale, which would allow them to introduce new production technologies was evident. They were eager to do business. In this sense, the exhibit facilitated meetings between manufacturers and suppliers who without intermediaries managed to reach interesting agreements. In approximately 30 thousand square meters, exhibitors installed their supplies that spanned from traditional mechanical equipment for woodwork, to complex robotic units, and of course raw materials for furniture such as wood, MDF, OSB, tubular, as well as materials for mattress making production. Since its inaugural day, ExpoPromueble and Technology welcomed manufacturers who traveled straight to Mexico City to contact suppliers directly to get their equipment, supplies, and textile needs met. Insuperable the array of supplies for furniture manufacturing in PROMUEBLE Expo 2014 Firms leaders in machinery, tools and supplies for the furniture industry showed quality and progress. The furniture industry in Mexico can grow and improve with the infinite variety of technology and machinery available on the market. The exhibition which has been characterized by increasing internationalization, every year gathers the most important and representative Mexican and international firms of automated machinery. For instance, the Austrian Felder Group, which has surprised many for its fast growth in the country and SCM Group of Italian origin, which after many years continues as a leader in technology sales were both present. Also present were the Mexican Calegris Importec , Asia Robotics, Asima , Castec , Omega Machinery , TRIMAQ , and Mexico Mademaq Virutex , which also make an important contribution to the modernization of national MIPYMES. Other firms that trust ExpoPromueble as a meeting and business space between manufacturers and suppliers are undoubtedly Inherma , Curvamex , Oimsa , Distribution Dimas Art Panel , ETC Hardware, Eurofinish , Curvac , Industrial Guillas , De Vilbis Ransburg , Viniflexi , Ace staples FIFA Attachments Tire Foams Omludam , to name a few. The list of firms that supply the furniture and wood processing industries goes on and on, but what all exhibitors at ExpoPromuble have in common is that they are the most reliable in the industry. They demonstrate this by participating in an event where they key is to come into contact with customers and learn about their needs and expectations for growth.

21-25 FEBRUARY 2014 BANGALORE INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION CENTRE

INDIAWOOD 2014, which concluded on 25 February at the Bangalore International Exhibition Centre, saw participation by 580 exhibitors (49% of who were from foreign shores, the remaining Indian) in the eighth edition of South Asia's largest woodworking trade show. This indicates not only exhibitors' trust in INDIAWOOD, but also the resilience and versatility of the woodworking industry on the sub-continent. The final count of more than 33,000 footfalls at the five-day exhibition also sends a clear signal: the global economy may be down and out, but recovery and growth (at least in India) are just round the corner. The visitors – from Bhutan, Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, Nepal and Sri Lanka – comprised of manufacturers, traders, retailers, builders, architects, interior designers, contractors, government agencies, experts and woodworking enthusiasts – and they converged on Bangalore from all over India, and beyond. Their enthusiasm and curiosity was best appreciated by companies from the 25 countries (including India) that

exhibited their products AT India Wood: from logs and lumber, machinery and tools, to hardware and software, adhesives and coatings, design and innovation. The exhibitors came from Austria, Belgium, Canada, China, France, Germany, Greece, Indonesia, Italy, Korea, Malaysia, Philippines, Poland, Romania, Singapore, Spain, Sri Lanka, Taiwan, Thailand, Turkey, UAE, United Kingdom, USA and Vietnam. King 10 country pavilions were from Canada, China, France, Germany, Italy, Malaysia, Sri Lanka , Taiwan, Turkey and the US, who made use of the entire 38,000 square metres of space at the venue. Exhibitor reaction to India's premier bi-annual woodworking trade show was also encouraging – an overwhelming majority (66%) felt the show was 'good/ very good' and another 23% rated it as 'excellent'. In terms of commercial success, 13% of exhibitors felt it was excellent, while another huge majority (71%) rated it as good/ very good. Similarly, 72% exhibitors were happy with the visitor numbers and profiles, while another 15% were impressed beyond that!

Another record set at 33,000+ visitors

We at PDA Trade Fairs and Eumabois take pride in continuously enhancing exhibitor & visitor experience at our trade shows, and acting as catalysts in the growth of the woodworking industry in India. Riding on the success of previous exhibitions, the 4th edition of DELHIWOOD will take off at the India Expo Centre & Mart, Greater Noida, from February 4- 7, 2015. The international trade fair for Furniture Production Technology, Woodworking Machinery, Tools, Fittings, Accessories, Raw Materials & Products is expected to attract around 450 exhibitors from more than 20 countries, and approximately 15,000 visitors from all over India and neighbouring countries. The Indian furniture market is estimated to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 25% through fiscal 2015-

19, along with the (organized and unorganized) woodworking industry. The rising proportion of working age population, increasing per capita income, rise of the consumer class, rapid urbanization and growth of the real estate sector are some of the contributors to the woodworking sector's growth. This positive trend and market sentiment will reflect in participation at DELHIWOOD 2015, where exhibitors will showcase not only Woodworking Machinery, Furniture Accessories & Fittings, but also Systems & Tools for Woodworking. DELHIWOOD 2015 is sure to be of great value for Furniture Manufacturers and other Woodworking Professionals to compare, benchmark & source machinery and materials.

STRONG UK ECONOMY BOOSTS W14 EXHIBITION

Economic recovery is very strong in the UK and growth is faster than most people expected. Prospects for machinery sales have been further increased by a huge tax incentive for furniture and joinery manufacture who invests in machinery. Until quite recently the Investment Allowance rules in the UK gave tax relief on just £25,000 per year for all capital expenditure. This has new been increased to £500,000 and the opportunity lasts only until 2015.

This change, and the revival of the UK sectors using wood machinery has made sure that the W14 exhibition at the NEC is to be the biggest event in the UK for many years.
