Welcome to interzum 2017 from Katharina C. Hamma, Chief Operating Officer of Koelnmesse GmbH.

nterzum, the world's largest trade fair covering the themes materials and design for furniture manufacturing and interior fi nishing, is being staged in Cologne again this May. As the trendsetter exhibition for the design of tomorrow’s living environments, interzum is the industry’s central communication platform and the ideal setting for exhibiting companies that want to present their ideas to the whole world. Over 1,600 companies from more than 60 countries take this opportunity to present their most innovative products, new technologies and material innovations. Well over 50,000 visitors will be on-site to experience these product premieres and thus take a look into the future. Important themes that will be playing a role this year include among others the conservation of resources, sustainability, recycling and upcycling and the increasing interest in digitalised living environments. Divided up thematically into three product sections, interzum provides answers to these three central market questions and brings the players of the value chain close together. In addition to the market leaders of the respective industry, also many medium-sized and smaller companies have registered for all sections of the trade fair, i.e. Function & Components with fi ttings, glass, lighting/surfaces and Materials & Nature with wood materials/natural materials as well as Textile & Machinery with components/
upholstery and cover materials as well as upholstery machines. A full comprehensive and wide-ranging event programme and the centrally located Piazzas invite the visitors to exchange experiences with industry insiders and offer additional sources of industry inspiration. As the offi cial trade fair newspaper, interzum World magazine serves as an information and planning tool for you. The magazine showcases all the exhibitors, partners, representatives and supporters of interzum and provides an editorial voice for the event. I wish you a pleasant and successful stay at interzum 2017 in Cologne!
