The Malaysian International Furniture Fair 2023 (MIFF) launched earlier this 1 March 2023 to 4 March 2023 at the World Trade Centre Kuala Lumpur (WTCKL) and Malaysia International Trade & Exhibition Centre (MITEC) sought a record-breaking number of 671 exhibitors from 11 countries and regions in a show of its resilience and appeal in the global furniture trade.
Officiated by YAB Dato’ Sri Fadillah Yusof, Deputy Prime Minister of Malaysia and Minister of Plantation and Commodities, the exhibition was a rebound from the pandemic to stage a full-scale return as Southeast Asia’s largest industry event and the biggest export platform for Malaysian furniture.
Organized by Informa Markets, the annual event initiated a rousing start for Malaysia’s top global manufacturers and exporters, and producers from China, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam, Taiwan, Japan, and South Korea bringing a diverse spectrum of furniture for household and commercial settings.
YBhg. Dato’ Dr. Tan Chin Huat, Founder and Chairman of MIFF said, “The lost pandemic years have shown the importance of MIFF in global furniture commerce as a relevant steady partner for business growth. It encourages real opportunities for MIFF and the Malaysian furniture industry to work closely with other stakeholders to develop new prospects and new markets. We remain committed to delivering high standards and providing our customers with the best experience possible.”
Additionally, six industry seminars were held by local and international experts who discussed the impacts of ESG and the industry outlook after Covid. Speakers included Dr. Eric Leong, Chief Judge of MIFF FDC, and delegates from the international network of the hospitality industry (NEWH), led by Ms. Chris Tucker, President of Canada.
