As the global home-furnishing supply chain undergoes rapid transformation, the industry is shifting from scale expansion to value enhancement, driven by digital reconstruction, sustainability goals and global industrial integration. Manufacturing technologies, materials innovation and hardware systems are becoming central to the competitiveness of the furniture sector worldwide.

In this context, CIFM / interzum guangzhou, held during phase 2 of the 57th CIFF Guangzhou (March 28–31, 2026) at the Canton Fair Complex, confirms its position as a leading international platform for furniture production technologies and upstream supply-chain innovation.

Under the theme “Connect the World”, the exhibition integrates global innovation resources with the industrial chain, presenting a comprehensive vision of the future home-furnishing supply ecosystem.

The 2026 edition strengthens its role as an innovation engine through three major platforms dedicated to intelligent manufacturing, materials innovation and hardware technology.

The Platform for Intelligent Production Equipment, located in Area B, brings together global leaders in woodworking machinery, upholstery machinery, laser technologies and digital production systems. Companies such as HOMAG, BIESSE, WEINIG, WEMHÖNER, LEITZ, LEUCO, FREUD, Nanxing, Excitech, QUICK, Fortran and KUKA will showcase advanced solutions including digital production lines, flexible intelligent processing centers and laser edge- banding technologies, demonstrating the transition toward intelligent, flexible and low-carbon manufacturing.

A new initiative, the Global Debut Gala, will spotlight strategic product launches from leading equipment manufacturers, reinforcing the exhibition’s role as a global stage for innovation in furniture production technologies.

The Platform for Home Design Material Selection, located in Area C, focuses on CMF innovation, sustainable materials and functional surface solutions. International brands such as Schattdecor, LamiGraf, Interprint, REHAU, RENOLIT, Pfleiderer, SwissKrono, AHEC, HENKEL, BOSTIK and LINAK will present new material technologies supporting customization, upholstery and whole-house design solutions, emphasizing recyclability, environmental performance and aesthetic innovation.

The Platform for Home Hardware Innovation Experience, located on the second and third floors of Area B, explores intelligent hardware systems and IoT integration. Brands including OVVO, Ferrari, L&S Lighting, SACA, TUTTI, Topstrong, GARIS, MEATON and ADAMS will present solutions such as intelligent hinges, hidden slide systems, electric lifting mechanisms and adaptive locking technologies, demonstrating the fusion of functionality, durability and design.

Scene-Based Innovation and Global Collaboration

CIFM / interzum guangzhou continues to expand immersive scenario-based experiences that connect technology, materials and design across the entire production-to-application chain. The upgraded CIFF Charm Road 2.0 transforms manufacturing processes into interactive experiences through data testing, material exploration and multi-sensory demonstrations, while the CMF Trends International Material Gallery 2026 presents four curated environments exploring materials, colors and textures through collaborations between international suppliers and curators.

At the same time, the upgraded 16.3 Design “Originality” Hall 4.0 continues to incubate innovative material brands such as Yaodonghua, Zhongrun Huayuan, Dilon, Liamax, Moldtec, Jiashijia, Yakco, MOOTFELLER and Tongda, reinforcing the connection between material innovation and original design development.

Strengthening its global dimension, CIFM / interzum guangzhou connects upstream supply-chain companies with international markets. With buyers from 187 countries and regions attending previous editions, the exhibition continues to foster collaboration through year-round matchmaking initiatives, industry forums, roadshows and global promotion activities spanning Europe, North America, the Middle East and Belt and Road markets. By integrating intelligent manufacturing, materials innovation and global cooperation, the exhibition demonstrates how the upstream supply chain is becoming a strategic driver of the furniture industry’s future development.
