The export value of office furniture reached a record amount of 2.7 billion dollars in 2011, 13% more than in 2010. China is currently the largest manufacturer of furnishings for the workplace in the worldand produces 70% of Asia’s total production. The Chinese production grew by 18% in the period from 2003 to 2011 (data source: Csil).
Ciff-Office Show 2013 will continue in the quest undertaken 2 years ago to promote concepts of great interest such as ecology and wellbeing in the workplace, which has encouraged exhibitors to produce office furniture and furnishings made from natural materials found in the territory such as bamboo and rattan that have not been treated with coatings or other materials that may produce emissions or cause pollution.
In response to the enormous development of the hotel industry in China, which has seen enormous investments from some of the most important hotel chains in the world, for the second year running Ciff-Office Show will dedicate a space of about 20,000 m² to companies operating within the hospitality industry that are now capable of supplying their products and services to some of the best hotels, even 4 and 5 star international hotels.
In just a few short months (from January to September 2012) 85 new 5 star hotels were inaugurated in China, and the business is in continuous strong growth.
