An important opportunity for domestic companies to increase their export volumes
The products of the woodworking industry and the window-door-glass industry, which make great contributions to Türkiye's exports, will be exhibited at the fairs, produced with advanced technologies. Reputable professional organizations of both sectors, Woodworking Machinery Manufacturers Association (AIMSAD) and Furniture Accessory Manufacturers Association (MAKSDER) will participate in the fairs from Serbia and the Balkans, including important furniture and forest products markets such as Croatia, Hungary, Romania and Slovenia. It is aimed to establish strong business connections with key decision makers from their countries. The products and services of a total of 126 exhibitors will meet with visitors at All4Wood and WindoShow. 114 of the participants are from Turkey and 12 from Serbia. 90 percent of the participants from Türkiye plan to cooperate with companies in Serbia in 2023.
Zeynep Ünal Öztop, CEO of Tüyap Exhibitions Group, whose views on this global breakthrough of Tüyap were received, said, "We have contributed to our country's economy with our efforts of nearly 44 years in reaching a strong level of our country's fair organization efforts within the world fair industry competition, thanks to the specialized fairs we will prepare at the Belgrade Fair Center. We also aim to strengthen our country's position in the Balkan geography within the framework of its new export targets, and to carry mutual trade to a more efficient and powerful dimension. With our structuring in Belgrade, we have taken our mission to support Turkish companies' international expansion and contribute to their export connections one step further."
Underlining that she believes this new center in the Balkans will play an active role in healing the wounds of the earthquake that deeply affected Türkiye, Ünal Öztop continued her words as follows: “After the earthquake that shook us all, we need to keep our economy alive so that the wounds are healed and material and moral support can continue. We will all do the best we can in our field of activity so that recovery is possible. As Tüyap Exhibitions Group, we are aware of our responsibilities on this long and difficult road. Our priority in this process will be to create new export channels and business volume for all our participating companies, especially those that will participate in the regions affected by the earthquake. Our company, which we opened in Belgrade, Serbia, will serve the same purpose by creating new export potentials and will contribute to the expansion of business volumes of companies from our country.”
