AMERICAN HARDWOOD COMPANIES TO PARTICIPATE IN INDIAWOOD 2006
As India’s
economy grows, the demand for affordable Kitchen/Office/Bedroom and other
wood based products continues to grow. As consumption levels increase,
the need for mechanization of wood processing becomes mandatory. In
addition, as the market matures the use of quality raw materials makes a
cutting edge difference to successful production. INDIAWOOD since
it’s inception in 1999, has been instrumental in gradually creating a
successful woodworking Industry, by providing a platform for the
woodworkers in the Asian region to meet, interact and more importantly
source quality machinery and raw materials.
Recognizing the fact that INDIAWOOD is the only platform in the region
that provides growth opportunities, newer exhibitors from hitherto
un-represented regions and segments are targeting the Indian market by
participating in large numbers. The AMERICAN HARDWOOD EXPORT COUNCIL (AHEC)
an association representing the Hardwood Exporters and major hardwood
product trade associations from the United States and a Brazilian
consortium of timber exporters are exhibiting in Indiawood 2006 through
their respective pavilions. Even the Japanese who traditionally looked to
cater only to the home and the US market are now looking at making forays
into the Indian market through INDIAWOOD.
The success of the TAIWANESE wood working machinery companies in the
Indian market post their participation in the 2004 edition has prompted
the Taiwan woodworking machinery association and the Taiwan association of
Machinery Industries to double their size in the 2006 edition. The Taiwan
pavilion now stands at 1386 sq. mtrs. Even as news of Taiwan’s success in
the Indian market is making the rounds, the Koreans, the Chinese and the
Malaysians are now vying for a share of the Indian market by participating
in the 2006 edition. Indiawood 2006 currently stands at about 15000 sq
mtrs and continues to grow in size as more and more exhibitors are
evincing interest to participate.

About
International Furniture Fair Singapore/ASEAN Furniture Show (IFFS/AFS)
The
International Furniture Fair Singapore, held in conjunction with the ASEAN
Furniture Show (IFFS/AFS), began in 1981 and has since grown to be
regarded by industry experts as Asia's most prestigious furniture trade
show. IFFS/AFS provides an effective marketing platform for regional
companies to venture into global markets. As a testimony to the quality of
the show, IFFS/AFS is the first Asian-based international furniture fair
to be accepted as a member of the elite Union des Foires Internationales,
a Paris-based international authority on trade fairs. In addition, it is
the only furniture trade event in Singapore to be awarded the 'Approved
International Fair' status by the Singapore Tourism Board. The Singapore
Exhibition and Convention Bureau also recognises the fair as a major
exhibition event on Singapore's international exhibition calendar.
VIETNAMWOOD 2005: International Trade Fair of Woodworking Machines and
Tools
Incorporating: Furniture Accessories and Semi-finished
Product for the Woodworking Industry
The 5th Vietnam International Woodworking Industry
Fair 2005 will open its door to the public on October 19th to
22nd at HIECC. This will be the most dynamic exhibition and its
exhibition floor is estimated to be about 7000sq. meters, and there will
be about 15 countries participating the fair. We give our gratitude to
European Federation of Woodworking Machinery Manufacturers (Eumabois) and
Wood Machinery Manufacturers of U.S for their contributions that had
increased the exhibition’s attraction and professional level.
Vietnam is currently on its way to become the number one
furniture manufacturing country in Asia. Due to the lack of modern
manufacturing technology and skills, the Vietnam International Woodworking
Industry Fairs are developed and highly anticipated by Vietnam's furniture
industries. During the 2004's exhibition, participating organizations came
from 15 different countries around the world; they are China, Denmark,
France, Germany, Hong Kong, Italy, Japan, Malaysia, Singapore, Taiwan,
Thailand, Swiss, and U.S. There are a total number of 360 booths, and had
attracted 14,288 visitors from Vietnamese and worldwide. The theme focused
on various woodwork machines, cutters, furniture accessories, and
semi-finished products. Business interactions took over the exhibition
floor and most transactions were made on site. The Fair had earned many
well-deserved phrases from local and international exhibitors, buyers, and
visitors.
Another worth noting point, the Vietnam International
Woodworking Industry Fair is currently the only large-scale professional
exhibition held in Vietnam. Its professionalism and high quality of its
participating exhibitors are the first to be seen in Vietnam. Its many
visitors are specialist in related areas, which is different from other
Woodworking Fairs. The fair has received assistance from Vietnam
government officials and local industry associations, and it looks forward
to our visiting foreign industrial delegates from Italy, Germany, China,
Taiwan, India, and such. The 5th Vietnam International Woodworking
Industry Fair 2005 hopes to bring benefits to the local woodwork
manufacturing industries, improvements in technology and skills, and
opportunities to replace its outdated machines.
