ITALY – Held in Pordenone from 12th to 15th October, the twelfth edition of SICAM enjoyed a success that outstripped the most optimistic forecasts.

With over 540 exhibitors from Italy and 28 other countries, the event marked a true confirmation of the strength of the sector of components and accessories for the furniture industry, which kept going over the 2020-2021 period and even intensified its design and production capacity.

Everyone was extremely eager to meet up again at trade shows: see each other and come face to face, work out thought processes together, exchange ideas and assess projects. Indeed, this is the very point of trade fairs. And at SICAM it was made easy, with attention paid to all leading global markets.

Furniture industry professionals attended from as many as 97 foreign countries in addition to Italy, representing over 7200 companies. 66% came from Italy and 34% from abroad. This widespread representation was hard to imagine in the weeks leading up to the event due to all the restrictions imposed to curb the spread of the pandemic and with international flight schedules still far from 2019 levels.

The date is set for October 2022, from Tuesday 18th to Friday 21st. The furniture industry already has its next meeting scheduled with the global business world in Pordenone.
