A Stronger Platform through Further Investment from the Organizers

PRESS RELEASE – January 8, 2025

-------------------------------

Building on over two decades of successful collaboration, the co-organizers of DOMOTEX asia/CHINAFLOOR - Globus Events and Hannover Milano Fairs China (Shanghai based joint venture between Deutsche Messe and Fiera Milano) have reached an agreement to establish DACF Exhibitions Shanghai Ltd, a joint-venture company. Starting in 2025, this new company will assume full responsibility for the organization and management of the show. It will also focus on new development opportunities in the flooring industry within China and across the broader APAC region. This organizational change will not disrupt the show’s current operations and the project team remains unchanged.

“The establishment of DACF Exhibitions Shanghai Ltd. marks a significant step forward for DOMOTEX asia/CHINAFLOOR. This new partnership strengthens our position as Asia’s leading platform for the flooring industry, enabling us to better meet the evolving needs of the market, drive innovation, and create valuable synergies across the entire value chain.” - said Sonia Wedell Castellano, Global Director at DOMOTEX.

Aida Cuko, International Business Director at Globus Events added: “Amid significant transformations in the global flooring business, this investment is a testament to the organizers’ commitment to further strengthen DOMOTEX asia/CHINAFLOOR as an international platform tailored to the industry trends and focused on providing new business opportunities in the region.”

Leveraging the combined resources and expertise of both parties, DACF Exhibitions Shanghai Ltd. aims to foster upstream and downstream synergies within the flooring industry and support its further growth in China and beyond.
