Supported by a pan-Asian network of factories and suppliers, Taiwan is ready to work with you through the whole production process. You choose the design and Taipei Furniture 2000 will help you find a partner. This leap into the new millennium, organized by the China External trade Development Council (CETRA) and the Taiwan Furniture Manufacturers' Association promises to bring together design and value in a uniquely profitable combination. Furniture exports to the United States, Taiwan's top market, are now valued at over US$I billion yearly, boosted by strong demand from discerning U.S. customers who know value when they see it. In Japan, Taiwan's second largest export market, buyers are becoming increasingly responsive to Taiwan furniture manufacturers, and some manufactures have set up distribution centers in Osaka to catch this new wave. For the best combination of quality and value in the world, no-one beats Taiwan's competitive advantage - excellent quality at a reasonable price, backed by the latest manufacturing technology. Taiwan's furniture makers have become adept at finding new market niches and meeting new market demand for their products where their design skills and expertise in building quality furniture is valued. The popularity of the SOHO concept -- "Small Office, Home Office" -- which values compactness and design skills, has given Taiwan furniture manufacturers a boost. Here, Taiwan manufactures are leading the world. Be sure to join the team at Taipei Furniture 2000 at the Taipei World Trade Center Exhibition Hall March 8-12, 2000.
