Domotex 2015 sees heavy international turnout

Innovations, inspiration and sales ´ those are the words that best summarise DOMOTEX 2015. The world´s flagship trade fair for carpets and floor coverings served once again as the No. 1 meeting place for a vibrant sector and its clientele. Following four action-packed days, the show´s organisers at Deutsche Messe declared a solid performance for the event. Its highly international mix of exhibitors and attendees as well as the success of the special Innovations@DOMOTEX showcase underscored the tradeshow´s reputation as a global magnet for decision-makers and a prime venue for unveiling new innovations.

´We are delighted with the show´s performance. It had everything: a highly attractive lineup of exhibitors and products, solid attendance figures, high-caliber trade visitors, a great many innovations and a highly international mix of exhibitors and visitors. This is something which was immediately evident ´ at every stand, in every hall,´ said Dr Jochen Köckler, the Deutsche Messe Managing Board member in charge of DOMOTEX. ´This year´s DOMOTEX got international trading off to a splendid start, and has given the carpets and floor coverings industry every reason to be optimistic about the year ahead,´ he added.

DOMOTEX 2015 attracted some 40,000 visitors from 100 different countries. Total attendance was thus slightly higher than for the most recent comparable DOMOTEX in 2013. The majority of visitors came from European Union countries. A significant upswing was noted in attendance from the Middle East and South, East and Central Asia.
