In mid-June, the interzum team
presented its plans for the next
event to the advisory board.
Matthias Pollmann, Vice President
Trade Fair Management,
reported excellent prospects for
interzum 2019. Koelnmesse expects
more than 1,800 exhibitors
from all over the world to attend
the world’s largest industry
event for the supplier industry.
“The results of the first early
booking phase make us very
optimistic that we will achieve
our goal of five percent more
exhibitors in total. For the time
being, we can register growth
from all over the world, especially
from Turkey, Spain and India,”
says Matthias Pollmann, Vice
President Trade Fair Management.
“This will make interzum
in the coming year not only
the largest, but also the most
international industry event and
the place-to-be for the furniture
supply industry. It is estimated
that the share of foreign exhibitors
will be 80 percent”, Matthias
Pollmann continues.
Alongside the industry’s big
names, plenty of smaller, highly
innovative companies will also
be participating again at its
2019 edition. Currently, around
13% of the companies registered
so far will be attending

and extraordinarily wide-ranging
mix of new technologies, materials
and surfaces at the fair. As
drivers of innovation and suppliers
of the entire interior design
industry, they are important
partners in the development of
new products and design trends.
It is precisely because of this
wide range that not only makes
the latest materials, components
and manufacturing processes
become evident at the fair,
but also the trends and visions
regarding the design of future
