DOMOTEX asia/CHINAFLOOR concluded a successful edition in Shanghai from 26 to 28 May 2023.

The event took place in co-location with R+T Asia - the leading trade fair for the sun shading and door/gate industry in the APAC region, cadex - the international event for connecting, learning and doing business in the design and architecture industry - and others, under the roof of Build Asia Mega Show - a vibrant ecosystem representing the diverse facets of the construction, building materials and interior design industries, in a platform which fosters the cross-industry communication and multi-channel integration.

"Last time I was at the show was in 2019. I am glad to be back to Domotex asia this year and meet our partners physically again. After 2019, we have participated at the show through our Asian team but finally we as Europeans and Americans could also come back this year. The footprint of Domotex asia is actually Asia. We met partners and people from China, but also from Vietnam and different parts of Asia. We had some good meetings also with US and European distributors and retailers. I hope we will see more of them coming back to China next year. This is a place where you can have great conversations and obtain updates. We will be present here again next year. We had a successful exhibition and look forward to meeting everyone again at DOMOTEX asia 2024."

“We are excited to be back to participate in DOMOTEX asia since our last participation in 2019. As Oriental Weavers Egypt, we see the Chinese market specifically, and ASEAN markets generally, as very important markets for us and our strategy includes several action plans to grow and expand our presence in China and surrounding markets. It will be interesting to see how the Chinese market evolved in the last 3-4 years and we are looking forward to build strong partnerships with reputable Chinese companies to sell our world-class rugs in China.”
