SCOPERTA - THE FINE INTERIOR TEXTILES EXHIBITION

In terms of facts and figures at Scoperta 2005 we saw an 8% increase in visitor numbers (19% increase over the past 3 years) from 57 countries including key buyers from such far-reaching places as Japan, Brazil, New Zealand & Australia. In addition many exhibitors, such as Boelart & Moens from Belgium, did more business in the first day then they did in the whole week the previous year.

The Trade Link team has worked hard at making Scoperta "a must visit" show providing a platform for exhibitors from around the world. We recognise the importance of supporting the current textile market in Europe and believe the key for both the industry's and Scoperta's success has been innovation. And it is this theme we will be continuing to promote in the future. Subsequently, the design section, incorporated into Scoperta, was a vital element in providing cutting edge designs and predicting future trends. Needless to say there was a constant buzz surrounding this area of the show.

Ronald Baetans of Boelart & Moens, Belgium who has exhibited for 3 years has been delighted with the show and stated "We did even more business on the first day compared to the whole of the show in 2004."

Ratiya Chantian, Marketing Director, Satin Textiles with her team commented that this year, their 4th, has been the best that they have had and have already rebooked for 2006. They mentioned that one buyer who returned after a year's absence, felt that the quality was much better and there were nicer designs to be seen. They have seen existing and new buyers from America, Italy, Switzerland, Germany and Greece, both existing and new customers too.

Scoperta was first held in 1999. In 2006 Scoperta is moving to Fiera Milano - a brand new venue in Italy close to the attractions of Como and Cernobbio.

The dates for Scoperta 2006 are 9-12 May 2006
