IIFF. INTERNATIONAL ISTANBUL FURNITURE FAIR. ISTANBUL 2024

IIFF INTERNATIONAL ISTANBUL FURNITURE FAIR ISTANBUL 2024 can be considered the industry's largest meeting, bringing together all product groups in the furniture industry, introducing Turkish Furniture to the world. The fair was organized in 2 fair areas at the same time, providing participants with networking opportunities with professionals from over 150 countries.

After achieving 4.7 billion USD in exports in 2022, the Turkish furniture industry is aiming for 6 billion USD in exports in 2023. Regarding furniture exports worldwide, Türkiye has risen from tenth to sixth place in recent years due to strong demand. Turkish furniture is well-known in 167 countries and is one of our country's top exporting businesses, with shipments to 200 customs zones.

As visitors at this fair, we had the opportunity to meet some of our traditional customers for industrial band knives, used in their production as consumables for the cutting machines. It is a pleasure to see that our products are, in a way, part of the production process of making such beautiful furniture, whether mattresses or upholstery, sofas and beds.

As the Turkish people say, this fair can be considered as a world meeting point for the furniture producers, and we had the chance to see that it is totally true, since we met not only Turkish exhibiting companies but also other nationalities they came here, either as exhibitors or as customers. We look forward to the next edition of this fair, where very likely we will go not only as visitors, but with a stand also.
