Exhibitors have already booked 85% of exhibition space at Domotex 2009, the 21st international trade show for floor coverings.

Organiser Deutsche Messe said it expects a total of 1,350 exhibitors from around 80 countries to take up 92,500ft² at the event, staged in Hannover on January 17-20. This follows record exhibitor and visitor attendance at the 2008 edition, which attracted 47,000 visitors and 1,442 exhibitors.

“We are already seeing an enormous response from firms, following the great success of Domotex Hannover 2008,” said Stephan Kühne from Deutsche Messe.
