3F announces Export Pavilion in the upcoming March show

[Houjie, China] In the upcoming 33rd International Famous Furniture Fair(short as 3F) from 16th to 20th March,2015, an Export Pavilion will be set up on the 2nd floor of Hall 3G, Hall 3 and Hall 7, to meet the growing demands of both domestic and International markets and the requests of furniture manufacturers and buyers.

“The launching of Export Pavilion is a natural step following market conditions,” said Mr. Jacky Fang, Manager of 3F show. “3F is a furniture trade show organized by a furniture association who cares about the healthy development of the entire furniture industry in China. When the international markets tick up and the Chinese domestic furniture market cools down, launching Export Pavilion is our way to bring the attention of the furniture producers to export market again.”

Over the years, the focus of 3F show has closely followed market trends. At the first few years since its inaugural show in 1999, 3F was a major trade fair for furniture producers to export their products to global market. But when export business suffered a major hit in the United States antidumping case in 2005, the organizer of 3F understood furniture producers needed a new way out and 3F began to tilt toward domestic market. The tilt intensified when the world economy continued to weaken since 2008 and Chinese domestic market began to show its potentials. By 2010, 3F has become the best trade show in China to sell into Chinese market and a number of furniture producers such as Window of City and Kuka Home emerged from 3F as the best sellers in the market. In the past few years, the global economy has shown positive signs of warming up and the organizer of 3F decided to embrace export business again. “ We believe Export Pavilion is the right decision we make at the right time,” commented Fang.

According to the organizer, international buyers attending the upcoming 3F show will enjoy complementary lounge services with free WIFE access, dedicated registration desks and western food and other improved services, all aimed to create a better visiting experience for international visitors.

Michael Amini, the Chairman of American Aico Corporation showed great expectation to the new Export Pavilion. “I have been shopping Dongguan furniture fair for years and I really enjoy my visit every year. I believe having a new export pavilion in 2015 at the 3F furniture show in Dongguan will dramatically improve the shopping experience of the international buyers. The new pavilion will mot only offer a targeted approach for both buyers and exhibitors but it will improve shopping efficiency, trying to find the right companies that are interested and capable of exporting, in such extremely crowded hallways. ”

Dongguan is the furniture manufacturing center in China, gathering over 2,000 large-scale furnishing enterprises. Furniture producers in Dongguan and surrounding cities produce more than 60% of the overall furnishing products exported from China. Moreover, nearly 70% of the famous brands from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan attend 3F. International visitors can easily find high-quality and cost-efficient products at the show. Another benefit for international buyers coming to 3F is the high efficiency. Since most of the exhibitors in 3F have their factories within 1 hour's drive in distance, international buyers could easily visit and inspect the factories after short-listed potential producers in the exhibition before making any significant orders. The whole sourcing procedure could be done within only one trip.

The 33rd International Famous Furniture Fair(Dongguan) will be held from 16th to 20th Mach 2015. For more information, please visit www.3f.net.cn/e.
