Cersaie 2009: high levels of foreign attendance

Cersaie, the most important international showcase for the ceramic and bathroom furnishings sector, will be opening its doors from 29 September to 3 October 2009 at the Bologna trade fair complex.
The international scope of the event, which is now in its 27th edition, is borne out by the figures: 176,000 square metres of exhibition space in the Bologna complex will be occupied by 1,010 companies from 34 countries, representing five different sectors. The exhibitors include 494 ceramic tile manufacturers, of which 321 are Italian and 173 foreign (49% of the total number), which will occupy an area of 97,500 square metres. Record attendance has also been reported in the bathroom furnishing sector, which will be represented by 374 exhibitors; in the raw materials and equipment for ceramic products category, meanwhile, stand space has been booked by 22 companies. Sixty-six companies will represent the services sector, and last but not least, 54 exhibitors will represent equipment and materials for the installation and display of ceramic products. As always, the trade fair will welcome a substantial number of Italian companies, which to date already amount to 777: these will be displaying their most significant and aesthetically important innovations, testifying to Italy’s leadership in the ceramic industry on a worldwide scale.
