11/06/2010 The Johor Furniture Fair attracted nearly 40,000 visitors, generating sales of about RM4mil. Event chairman Ooi Thian Kang said the number of visitors and sales had dropped due to multiple events being held simultaneously in the city. “Last year, we recorded a total of RM6mil in sales during the three-day event, while a further RM4mil in sales were made after the event. “The visitors last year numbered about 50,000,” he said. “We appreciate those who came to support the event. “Such a fair enables consumers to find out the selection of furniture products available and the companies that deal in them,” he said. He said that more than 50 exhibitors participated in the fair this year which had 218 booths. “The event presented consumers with a wide range of furniture products at affordable prices,” he said. Meanwhile, Stulang assemblyman Mok Chek Hou, who launched the event, said the fair was the perfect platform for furniture manufacturers to showcase their products. “The products must have a mix of innovation and practicality so that they are worth the money spent,” he said. He said consumers should take advantage of the fair as it was difficult to find a large group of furniture manufacturers under one roof.Mok Chek Hou's strong support for Johor furniture fair
