Sonia Wedell-Castellano, global director of Domotex, answers key questions on Domotex 2021.
Q: What is the current status of registrations for Domotex 2021? Are there variations across the display categories covered at the show?
Sonia: The current rental status is running at around 60,000 square meters, which is about two thirds of the total space that is normally occupied at Domotex. We are particularly pleased about the positive trends in the sections devoted to “Machine-made Woven Carpets” and “Fibers and Yarns”, whereas in halls 11 and 12 – in the “Carpeting” and the “Parquet, Wood & Laminate Flooring” sections – we have room for a few more suppliers. Those areas are still subject to some uncertainty due to the coronavirus situation. Some companies are essentially still in “waiting mode”, and have not yet finalized their plans. In addition, as we are dealing with an odd numbered year, there is a strong competitor event also taking place, which has an impact on Domotex.
