More than 1,000 suppliers will present home textiles from floor to ceiling at Intertextile Shanghai Home Textiles 2008, one of the largest home textile trade events in Asia.
The show will run 26 - 28 August 2008 at the Shanghai New International Expo Centre with more than 100,000 sqm of trade space - the largest show to date.
In addition to seminars and design events, visitors can take advantage of the show's convenient organisational format. Suppliers from Pakistan, Portugal, Taiwan and Turkey will be grouped into special regional pavilions while many international suppliers will form end-use product zones to help visitors quickly find exactly what they need.
The product zones and a few of the suppliers to look for include:
- Bedding and Towelling Zone
The bedding and towelling zone will include more than 1,000 sqm and will feature famous bedding makers including Lenzing from Austria; The Woolmarks and new-comer Gainpac from Australia; lifestyle store Shanghai Uchino from Japan, and from the USA, Blue Ridge Home Fashions and Cotton Council International.
- Curtain zone
This zone features curtains, blinds and all other window coverings and treatments. Several Spanish companies will join the zone including Aznar Textil, Jover and Rafael Catala. From Australia, Lilly's Décor is a first-time exhibitor and Swedish Turnils will present their environmentally friendly finished blind line called Nordic Light.
- Upholstery zone
The upholstery zone will be a boon for furniture manufacturers in particular looking for the latest technologies and products for upholstery. Some of the exhibitors to look for include Girones from Spain, Novatex from Italy and Tatra Manufactory For Rugs and Upholstery Textile from Saudi Arabia.
