Speaking at an introduction in HCMC last week of the International Furniture Fair Singapore 2014/31st ASEAN Furniture Show (IFFS/AFS 2014), Koh said Vietnamese firms had joined the event for the past 10 years and that their products had won the confidence of international clients.
Regular Vietnamese attendants at the IFFS/AFS event have won many orders, Koh said. The IFFS/AFS 2013 took place in March, with 26 Vietnamese enterprises displaying their products on 1,000 square meters. These firms obtained positive results.
According to PNY Investment & Trade Service Company, who sent local enterprises to the IFFS/AFS 2013, local firms reached out to 145 international clients with their orders amounting to over US$2 million. Some clients signed more contracts with Vietnamese firms thereafter.
The organizing committee of the IFFS/AFS 2014, which will take place from March 13-16, 2014, said that more than half of the Vietnamese firms present at this year’s event had put their names down to join next year’s edition.
To encourage more Vietnamese firms to join the event, PNY Company, a representative of the IFFS organizing committee in Vietnam, said that enterprises would enjoy booth rent discounts, join the common booth Vietnam Pavilion and receive other incentives.
The IFFS 2013 featured a total of 466 exhibitors from 26 countries, and attracted 20,000 clients from 102 countries and 118 big groups.
