The four days of this year's seventh edition of SICAM, held in Pordenone, saw intense movement of buyers and designers, and technicians of global furnishing.

“Companies look for quality relationships at the trade fair,” commented the event organiser, Carlo Giobbi, “and we provided it this year with operators from over 6,700 companies, with 29% from abroad”.

With regard to exhibitors, 28% of companies attending came from outside Italy (from 33 different countries), while approximately 35% of visiting operators were foreign (with 96 countries of origin registered). European countries were the origin of two thirds of foreign operators while, on the other hand, Asia brought numerous new and interesting presences this year (counting for 26% of foreign visitors registered); specifically, there were many buyers from Iran and Saudi Arabia. With respect to European visitors, the Germans were overcome numerically by Russian buyers, while the country lying in third place was the Ukraine. The following standings in this particular list were occupied once more by operators from the United Kingdom, Spain, and France.

While 43% were recorded as “furniture” in general, as many as 19% specifically declared as belonging to the “kitchen” segment. This event is thus attended by manufacturers that will be found at Eurocucina in April, the bi-annual event at the Milan Furniture Fair. This is an additional element which shows how the date chosen for the Pordenone event is perfectly suited to the design and production needs of the companies from the furniture industry as a whole.

“Kitchen manufacturers and furniture-makers at SICAM are constantly looking for high-technology solutions,” Carlo Giobbi commented, “which enable their products, in addition to being innovative and constantly more aesthetically pleasing, to make the most of the space, a trait which is increasingly more strategic in new homes”.

Next SICAM will take place from Tuesday 18th to Friday 21st October 2016, at the Pordenone Trade Fair area.
