Why visit
Domotex is one of the leading trade fairs in Europe and the world, for quality and quantity of products and solutions for floor and wall coverings, textile but not only.
The 2023 edition, finally in full swing after the pandemic, hosted 730 exhibitors and about 45,000 trade visitors, 80 percent decision makers.
For the past few years, Domotex has focused on sustainability. Thus, many floor coverings were based on natural materials like cork, wood, rubber, and more.
Highlighting this theme is the Green Collection Awards, presented for the first time at Domotex in Hanover, 2023, which recognizes sustainable products and production processes and exceptionally committed companies. An independent panel of judges, including Bayram Aslan, director of TFI Aachen; Joachim Stumpp, managing director of the materials database raumPROBE; Roman Eberharter, president of the European Federation of Furniture Retailers (FENA); Reto Aschwanden, managing director of the nonprofit organization Label STEP; and Thomas Pfnorr, head of sustainability at SN-Verlag, selected nine winners for 2023.
