Stone industry participation grows at Surfaces 2002
Surfaces 2002, the global floor-covering marketplace, is set to take place from January 30 to February 1 at the Sands Expo & Convention Center, in Las Vegas, NV. The show, which set new record highs for the 2001 event, is slightly ahead of pace over last year in terms of exhibitors and net square footage. The 2002 show could see close to 950 exhibiting companies. The 500,000-plus net square feet of exhibit space will showcase all the latest styles, technology and services. Within these exhibitors, show attendees will see many new companies and product lines.
Attendees can expect the largest increases coming from tile and stone manufacturers. While Surfaces 2001 experienced a 200% increase in companies showcasing stone, tile and other hard surfaces, the 2002 show will continue to see significant growth in this area.
