Some exhibitors, such as Mr. Andrea Menegazzi in cooperation with an important company, specialized producer of furniture - Francesco Molon, came from
as far as Italy, hoping to crack the Saudi market.
“We are excited about our first time in Saudi Arabia and taking part in this event. We have been around the world promoting our work but it is worth it to be here,” said Mr. Menegazzi.
Participants have been working on their stands for over ten days now despite reserving their places a month ago. Al-Sunaidi believes it is an opportunity to promote the companies participating and the furniture industry as a whole.
