Supplier industry looks forward to its leading trade fair More exhibitors than ever before in 2019
On 21 May 2019, the future of furniture production and interior construction begins again in Cologne. interzum inspires the global furniture supplier industry. This is where decision makers, opinion leaders, disseminators and trendsetters from all over the world keep up with the innovations in the sector, seek out and establish new contacts. The facts alone speak in favour of this leading international fair, with more than 1,700 exhibitors coming face-to-face with an anticipated 70,000 visitors from over 150 countries. Around 80 per cent of them come from abroad, making interzum the most international industry event in the world. Exhibitors present their innovations across 190,000 square metres of exhibition space.
interzum is an opportunity for the supplier industry to reveal all its innovative power. What’s staying? What’s coming next? Divided by theme into three topic areas, the event is optimally organised to make trade fair attendance a success, because its structure brings the stakeholders in the value chain into close contact – and gives exhibitors and visitors alike a good overview. The largest exhibition area at interzum 2019 will be occupied by the “Function & Components” product segment. In Halls 3.2, 4, 5, 7 and 8, the industry will show how customers’ increasing demands in the areas of technology, energy efficiency, comfort and convenience can be fulfilled. These points will be addressed by the product segments of light and lighting systems, semi-finished products for storage, kitchen, office and frame furniture, fittings, locks and furniture components. Even more convenient, individual, digital and connected – these are the expectations for the interiors of the future, and this is the reason why solutions to these requirements will be the focus of attention in the technical and functional components segment.
The conservation of resources, sustainable raw materials and cradle-to-cradle concepts – these are but a few of the trends addressed in the Materials & Nature segment in Halls 4.2, 6 and 10.2. This is where a comprehensive presentation of versatile materials for furniture design will again be offered, including wood, veneer, parquet, interior design and furnishings, decorative surface design, decor papers, laminates, wood-based materials, high-pressure laminates, solid surface materials, edge trims, surface treatments and finishes, embossing cylinders and sheet metal.
