I am confident that this year’s interzum guangzhou is well-positioned to work hand in hand with the global industry to enhance future prospects for exhibitors and visitors alike," says Mr. Udo Traeger, Vice President Furniture & Interior Design of Koelnmesse GmbH, the organisers of interzum.

"We can bring together international and local players while offering insights into manufacturing and finished products. It is an ideal environment for growth and success."
interzum guangzhou is known as the definitive one-stop forum for networking with buyers, manufacturers and suppliers from all sectors of the furniture manufacturing, production, and design industries.
