Kick Off 2025 at Europe’s Top Furniture Sourcing Fair
The current balance of exhibitors applications to participate in the MEBLE POLSKA 2025 Furniture Fair, which will be held in Poznan from February 25 to 28, 2025, indicates that next year's edition of the Europe's top furniture sourcing fair will be larger than in February 2024. The problems recently faced by the furniture industry have not affected the condition of the event.
Despite the mood of the industry - MEBLE POLSKA 2025 bigger than last year
- The industry is responding to the current situation with activity. Manufacturers are taking advantage of the Poznan furniture fair to diversify their portfolio of customers and expand the geographic structure of sales to new markets. At this point, the space ordered by exhibitors is the same as in the similar period last year. We are still waiting for final confirmation of the size of the stands by some of our regular exhibitors,” says MEBLE POLSKA Fair director Józef Szyszka.
The MTP Group is also actively recruiting furniture manufacturers from Ukraine. These activities are being carried out in cooperation with the Ukrainian Association of Furniture Manufacturers UAFM, which has recognized MEBLE POLSKA as the most effective sales promotion tool among all the furniture fairs UAFM has participated in in past years. According to preliminary announcements, the national appearance of Ukrainian companies will be even larger than at the 2024 edition.
The exhibition of the MEBLE POLSKA Fair currently occupies pavilions 3, 3A, 4, 5, 5A (HOME DECOR Exhibition), 6 and 8. This is more than during the record-breaking pre-pandemic 2020 edition. It should be remembered that at that time half of the largest pavilion 5 was occupied by another event.
Inquiries from IMM Cologne exhibitors
The organizer is still accepting applications from exhibitors. And the number of those willing to participate in the MEBLE POLSKA Fair is still increasing. The cancellation of the January edition of the IMM Cologne Fair has increased interest in participation from new companies. - Even before we received the official information about the interruption of the Cologne fair, domestic and foreign companies that originally planned to present their offer at IMM Cologne began contacting us. They are now looking for an alternative solution that would allow them to reach international furniture buyers. MEBLE POLAND, with a strong representation of buyers from about 70 countries, in addition to being organized at a similar time, seems an obvious choice,” explains Jozef Szyszka. The Grupa MTP assures that it still has ample capacity to locate exhibitors in pavilions.
