The 35th edition of Fimma-Maderalia (www.feriavalencia.com/fimmamaderalia) which open the doors from 25 to 28 October 2011 in Valencia, will feature a new design offering. The event is evolving from the traditional wood-cabinet combination to a new approach more closely to the needs of architects, decorators and professionals related to the design world, interior and furniture.
The two exhibitions, which reached the goal in the 2009 to gather more than 900 leading companies in the wood industry and its auxiliary, widen their horizons in 2011. An event whose shows include new materials such as aluminum, plastic or crystal, in accordance with the wood, are the new bet for the industry next year.
In addition, openness to other areas of business where the wood resource qualifies as a major player, setting up a new field of action for both the International Fair of suppliers of wood-furniture (Maderalia) as for the international fair of machines and tools for wood (Fimma). These technical areas such as the marine industry, musical instruments, transport and industry of Diy, for example. In addition, Fimma-Maderalia focuses in providing manufacturers of equipment for installation in the public sector (Canal Contract).
A scene in which, on the one hand, reappears strongly in the supply of both shows, the concept of reform-rehabilitation activities that have recently achieved the support of the Spanish Government, with the receipt of aid in this regard.
Similarly, the sustainability becomes the protagonist of Fimma-Maderalia, in the parallel program of activities for the next edition. This commitment is strengthened, especially in 2011, coinciding with the celebration of “International Year of Forests”.
Oriented both to visitors and exhibitors, there are many activities that will complete the month of October, the exhibition of products and services and events of Fimma Maderalia. Among the new initiatives, the outstanding series of conferences which will address the new technologies, and will be held by the top experts in the field or the organization of workshops with which the fairs are trying to strengthen the training of future professionals.
Moreover, within this new bet on design, fashion, lifestyle or applied to the home, the Fair Maderalia led the competition in 2011 “Curiosities of wood“. An initiative with which the event invites you to “think wood”, with the aim to summarize the work innovative and imaginative ideas bound to the wood.
