Introduction to Exhibitors at the Canton Fair Furniture Exhibition

The ongoing 2026 Guangzhou Furniture Fair is divided into two phases—one for upstream and one for downstream sectors—with the overall scale reaching a new record high, featuring more than 5,100 participating brands. It is important to distinguish between the two core exhibitions taking place concurrently, as they cover different segments of the furniture industry chain: one is the China (Guangzhou) International Furniture Fair (CIFF), with the residential furniture segment running from March 18 to 21, and the office, commercial, and equipment/materials segment running from March 28 to 31; The other is the Guangzhou International Furniture Manufacturing Machinery & Materials Exhibition, known as CIFM/interzum guangzhou, which runs from March 28 to 31. It focuses on upstream manufacturing technologies and materials, bringing together approximately 1,600 global companies.

This year’s exhibition has attracted a large number of industry leaders as well as new exhibitors making their debut. In the residential furniture sector, design and sofa brands include Ruichi, Nanyang Dick, Kuka Home, Minhua Holdings, Federal Furniture, and Stirolan; sleep and upholstered furniture brands include Xilinmen, Mengshen, Aieresi, and Langlefu; In the new retail sector, Genji Wood and Lin’s Home were both first-time exhibitors. In the office and commercial sector, internationally renowned brands such as IKEA and Japan’s Kokuyo also made their debut, while prominent domestic brands included Yongyi Co., Ltd., Dio Furniture, and Shengao Technology. The upstream equipment and materials sector is a key focus of the CIFM exhibition hall. Major production equipment giants include Homag, SGL, Weili, and IMA Schering. In the decorative materials and hardware sector, companies such as Schattdecor, Rehau, Henkel, and Ferrari are gathered. For panels and wood products, there are pavilions from the U.S. Hardwood Export Council and the Malaysian Timber Council.

If you’re interested in high-end finished furniture, keep an eye on VALORO. At Booth C06 in Hall 3.2, the company has created an art gallery spanning over 900 square meters, showcasing “German precision craftsmanship combined with top-tier Italian leather,” and has invited European supply chain partners to provide on-site explanations of their craftsmanship.

In addition to manufacturer exhibits, this year’s fair has introduced new themed zones such as health and elderly care, pet home furnishings, and smart offices. It also debuts AI virtual ambassadors and a global launch gala, making it easier to discover new product categories and cutting-edge technologies.
