“FurniPro Asia 2012” came to a close on October 19, after three days of lively discussions and deal making that saw close to 100 global brands showcasing their latest innovations to some 100 key hosted buyers from the region and over 2,000 trade visitors, of which more than 50 percent came from overseas. Organized by Koelnmesse and backed by strong support from the industry in the region, “furniPro Asia 2012” is endorsed by the Singapore Furniture Industries Council (SFIC), and supported by the American Hardwood Export Council, Singapore Manufacturing Federation and the Taiwan Woodworking Machinery Association.

“The response from the industry has been very positive. Many of the exhibitors were impressed by the fact that they were able to meet and do business with quality buyers from China, Malaysia, Hong Kong, Myanmar, India, Philippines, Indonesia, Thailand and Vietnam. While visitors to the trade fair were able to see actual live demonstrations of the latest machinery and technology from big brands like Biesse, Wemhoener, Scm and Ima, among many others…,” said Michael Dreyer, Vice President, Asia Pacific, Koelnmesse.
