Indonesia Int'l Furniture Expo 2014 to Take Place Mar. 11-14

A gateway to Indonesia's celebrated furniture and crafts industry, the Indonesia International Furniture Expo (IFEX) is scheduled for Mar. 11-14 in Jakarta, to be fully supported by the Indonesia Furniture Association and the government of Indonesia. The event is perfectly timed to fit seamlessly in the peak season of the ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) furniture exhibition series, making it a must stop on the regional circuit.

Thanks to ample forest and long tradition in handicrafts, Indonesia is often regarded as one of the major players in the furniture and handicraft industry in the ASEAN region. With availability of abundant raw materials, large number of labor and more constructive investment climate in the country, one can expect the achievement of the export growth target of furniture and handicraft products nationwide to US$5 billion in the next five years.

IFEX 2014 will bring together exhibitors and buyers from Indonesia and around the world, featuring high quality products and unique design that reflect the natural beauty of Indonesia and skilled craftsmen.

“We are very pleased to introduce IFEX to the international furniture market. With decades of experience in successfully organizing international furniture exhibition, we are ready to organize a larger event that will become a one-stop-solution for buyers that seek a wide range of innovative designs. Starting from buyers for hotel, department stores, interior designers, and anyone involved in the furniture sector, they will find something they need in IFEX 2014,” says Chris Eve, senior vice president of UBM Asia, the biggest commercial exhibition organizer in China, India and Malaysia.
