A conference and field trip to China is being organised to analyse opportunities in the country’s fast-growing wood flooring sector.
Italian timber industry consultant Paolo Gardino, together with a group of companies, is organising the April 20-23 event in Shanghai.
The trip is designed to give firms an overview of the Chinese wood flooring market and to make contacts for selling and buying products in China. The conference and field trip will look at raw material, semi-finished flooring, solid wood, two and three-ply products, laimnated wood, bamboo, equipments and glues.
China’s wood flooring industry is predicted to grow by at least 20% per year in the next five years, with sales volumes reaching some 200 million m2 nationwide.
