Preparations for Flanders Flooring Days 2023 at full speed

13 showrooms open their doors and edition 2024 promises to be even better and bigger

The first edition of Flanders Flooring Days (FFD) was a great success. FFD attracted more than 1,000 visitors from over 55 countries. Enthusiastically, the founding manufacturers are announcing the second edition. From May 22 to 25, 2023, 13 showrooms will open their doors, so FFD will be even bigger with more companies from the Flemish region. Visitors will discover the best that Flanders has to offer in terms of the global carpet and flooring industry. And 2024? That edition, too, is already taking shape. And it will be even more ambitious: then non-Flemish visitors will also be able to participate.

"This event feels like a invitation to a friend's home instead of in a restaurant", said Ruben Desmet, CEO of Unilin Flooring and one of the founding partners. The first edition of FFD welcomed visitors to the showrooms of the 10 largest Flemish flooring suppliers. The initiative came from 7 Flemish leading companies in the sector.

12 manufacturers within a 25 km radius

For the 2023 edition, Flanders Flooring Days welcomes new players. 12 leading Flemish flooring manufacturers will treat visitors to visits to their flagship showrooms and factories. Visitors will discover them within a radius of less than 25 kilometers, in the heart of easily accessible Flanders. The result? An extremely time-efficient visit for those who want to keep abreast of trends in the sector. Associated Weavers, Beauflor, Belysse, BerryAlloc, Betap, Condor Group, COREtec Floors, Lano, McThree, OSTA, Rewind-Real/Orotex, Unilin FLDC and Unilin are opening their doors to visitors from all over the world.

Really get to see everything

During FFD, visitors get to see everything from each manufacturer. Or as one visitor put it, "So inspiring. As a customer, I had the unique opportunity to see the complete assortment of different manufacturers." The founders of this prestigious event give visitors the closest and most complete insider's view that they can get. Visitors come into contact with various people responsible from sales and R&D. Direct contact with the people behind the companies and the products. In addition, visitors also come into contact with their colleagues from the industry - a great opportunity to network with colleagues from wholesale and retail. Some showrooms also open their factory doors for a real look behind the scenes.

Enjoy Flemish hospitality at its best

These leading manufacturers in the carpet and flooring industry are eager to invite their customers back to their 'homes'. The talks and visits are very focused and efficient, an absolute plus for the customers who like to discover all the news there. The second edition offers even more opportunities to discover, meet and learn. The whole thing is finished off with a delicious sauce of Flemish culinary and cultural traditions - also in 2023 Flanders Flooring Days will be 4 days of Flemish hospitality at its best.

Ambitious plans for 2024: other European players also welcome

The founding fathers are showing their true innovative spirit - the 2024 edition will be more inclusive and even more interesting. Because, in 2024 also welcomes FFD other European players who can introduce themselves to visiting wholesalers and retailers. Flanders may be small in area, but large enough to open up to the flooring world.

The 2023 edition will take place from May 22 to 25. Visits are only possible with registration via https://flandersflooringdays.com/be-nl. After registration, the manufacturer contacts the visitor to set a concrete appointment.
