In the past, we exported a significant volume of upholstery fabrics and finished products to China, and we are now exploring opportunities to expand that business. Carpets are a relatively new category for us, and this is the first time we’re actively targeting the Chinese market. This international fair gave us access not only to buyers in the country but also to visitors from Central Asia, the Middle East, and North Africa. Over the first two days, we’ve generated a strong number of contacts; we exchanged samples and specifications and look forward to following up after the fair.

We have exhibited at the fair for many editions to build visibility among both domestic and international designers and furniture manufacturers. Our focus is on blended fabrics and functional textiles; this edition, we met high-quality visitors from Brazil, Japan and Korea who showed strong interest in our practical products and innovative patterns. There is a clear trend towards a more ‘homey’ aesthetic, with buyers seeking designs that balance comfort and functionality. We are satisfied with the foot traffic and supporting events, and we will return next year.

We are exploring a wide variety of textiles, ready-made curtains, and soft furnishings, while also keeping an eye on fresh designs and innovations. We came across several impressive fabrics we hadn’t seen before, many presented by Chinese manufacturers offering diverse prints, patterns, and rolled stock ideal for quick orders. The fair provides a great opportunity to discover suppliers, and we’ve already identified promising ones for future collaboration. There’s a lot to cover within three days, but the event is both comprehensive and high quality. The fringe programme adds further value, and overall, we’re pleased with the experience and look forward to returning.

This fair is a fantastic chance to discover new collections that can enhance our production of home textiles, including cushions, bed covers, and curtains for large customers in Italy and Europe. We are actively seeking suppliers from around the world, particularly from China, India, Pakistan, and Türkiye, due to their high-quality production. We've already made a promising contract with a new supplier. Eco-friendly materials are a crucial focus for us, as customer demand for sustainable textiles continues to rise. It's essential that our materials are sourced responsibly and meet eco-certification standards.

The forum unites textile experts to enhance consumer awareness of home textile products' social responsibility. By discussing management, sustainability, and consumer research, it also aims to show that these products involve R&D and sustainable practices beyond their materials. As a result, it fosters deeper understanding and influences purchasing decisions, generating positive momentum for the industry. This fair is recognised as a premier exhibition in China and Asia, providing valuable insights while significantly contributing to the industry's growth and future development.
