May 27 to 30 The annual furniture professionals fair in Yecla

The Feria del Mueble is a major event in the annual calendar of Yecla

Yecla, in the north of the Region of Murcia, is home to one of the largest clusters of companies and professionals in the furniture, timber and related industries at both domestic and international level.

These companies stand side by side in an area of just 5 km, and the annual industry fair is the leading event of its kind in Spain, one of the most important showcases for trends and a driving force for innovation, design and technology at the service of the sector and its people.

The sectors covered include furniture, upholstery, rest, decoration, lighting, services and related industries, while facilities for this massive event include car parks, information for visitors and exhibitors, hostesses and interpreters, bar-restaurant and coffee shop, resting points, meeting rooms, a conference room, medical services, a communications bureau and audiovisual media plus loudspeakers plus ADSL Wi-Fi.

During the Feria del Mueble, of which this is the 63^rd edition, 20,000 square metres of exhibition space are occupied and around 10,000 people gather to share and further their interests in the furniture and timber sectors. In general some 500 companies devoted to furniture manufacturing, rest, upholstery and other related industries are represented.

The slogan for this year's event is 'Asiento, a veces siento', suggesting that the focus is largely on chairs and sofas, but of course all other branches of household furniture are also included.

In the first two months of this year alone the Region of Murcia exported furniture goods with a value of 25.62 million euros, mostly to France, Italy, Portugal and Germany. These countries will all be represented at the fair, along with Hungary, Poland, Ukraine, the UK, Russia, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Morocco, Egypt and Switzerland.
