An event where contracting meets practical knowledge. The first edition of Furnitech is behind us

Ptak Warsaw Expo on May 14-16, 2024 has become the European capital of the furniture industry. This is all thanks to two events organized at the same time - Furnitech and Furniture Contract Expo. They provided a platform for the development of the industry, among others thanks to practical workshops and lectures.

One place, one time and the entire furniture industry? This could only be the first edition of the international trade fair for furniture components and technologies, Furnitech. This event integrated those who are looking for new development considerations for their businesses with those who offer them.

Furnitech - where need meets solution

Ptak Warsaw Expo has been aiming at business integration for many years. The key to this is the appropriate selection of target groups who are participants of individual fairs. This was also the case with Furnitech, which brought together the entire furniture industry.

The exhibitors present during the three days of the event included manufacturers of furniture components, furniture accessories, furniture moldings, machinery and equipment for furniture production, suppliers of furniture raw materials, producers of woodworking tools and equipment, suppliers of furniture software, furniture coatings and finishes, and lighting systems as well as manufacturers of upholstery materials and furniture designers – companies importing furniture and furniture accessories.

You could meet, among others, All4Wood, INFOTEC CNC, TEKNIKA, ielektronarzedzia.pl, FESTOOL, TEX, Sigel, MARTPOL, KronoSpan, NOWIGO, OTTIMO SYSTEMS, FOLPOL, NAWARA, Centrex, BUDZIRKA POLSKA, Folmar and gaBer.

Their offers were presented to Polish and foreign companies ready to invest. This group included, among others, owners of furniture producing companies, specialists in furniture production and technology, heads of order departments in furniture producing companies, assemblers, carpenters, representatives of furniture accessories wholesalers, owners of online stores with accessories and furniture, furniture service technicians, representatives of the furniture sector service, DIY stores and chains or suppliers of furniture components.

This selected b2b group present during the event guaranteed strengthening business ties, the possibility of generating valuable leads and signing new contract agreements.

Secrets of business development during Furnitech

Both during Furnitech and the accompanying Furniture Contract Expo, participants could use the educational offer guaranteed by Ptak Warsaw Expo. During the Congress of the Furniture Components and Technologies Industry, there was, among others, free training in the TopSolid Edition Kitchens and Wardrobes program. During it, participants could familiarize themselves with the software interface, build a chest of drawers or a kitchen on their own, and learn how to generate 2D documentation.

At the same time, the Furniture Industry and Furniture Components Conference – the lecture part of the Congress – was held. Jerzy Osika led a series of lectures on development in business, management and motivation. He advised on how to build a personal brand, how to increase work efficiency, how to deal with the mountains and valleys in business, and also… how to speak to gain those we care about.

The Furnitech and Furniture Contract Expo agenda created in this way meant that every visitor had a chance to develop in the furniture industry.
