The 20th Domotex international show for floorcoverings saw a rise in visitor numbers this year to 47,000.
The event, held in Hannover during January 12-15, also set a new record for exhibitor numbers – 1,442, up from 1,336 in 2007.
“The excellent overall quality of this year’s Domotex represented yet another sizable improvement on past events in terms of the professional calibre of our visitors, the appeal of our special shows, and the outstanding presentations of exhibitor products and trends,” said Stephan Kühne, managing board member at Deutsche Messe AG.
Ralph Plessmann, president of the German Parquet Industry Association, described the show mood as “upbeat, if not euphoric”.
