Bridging western markets with MENA and Africa

The Carpet and Flooring Expo is an important platform for Anatolian businesses seeking to expand into new international markets, offering branded and innovative products to strengthen both existing and new business relationships. Carpet exports from Türkiye, which already exceed $2.8 billion, are expected to grow further through connections made at this global event.
