MIFF 2013 posts record results

Kuala Lumpur, 4^th April: The Malaysian International Furniture Fair (MIFF), a leading furniture exhibition in South-East Asia, posted record results at its 2013 edition. MIFF ran from 5^th to 9^th March and was held across two venues, the Putra World Trade Centre (PWTC) and Matrade Exhibition and Convention Centre (MECC).

Organised by UBM, the 2013 MIFF grew 25% compared with the previous edition covering 80,000 m², and featured 504 exhibitors and 18,397 trade visitors. UBM also noted that around 70% of the exhibitors have confirmed their participation in the next edition of MIFF which will run from 4^th to 8^th March 2014 and will once again be held at PWTC and MECC.

Datuk Dr. Tan Chin Huat, Chairman of MIFF, said: “We are delighted at the sales record because MIFF has delivered yet again despite the global economic uncertainties… Another important point I must make is that we are getting more high quality buyers from all over the world. We have very good feedback from the exhibitors who are pleased with their strong order books. This is definitely a big boost for MIFF going into our 20th anniversary next year.”
