Organisers of the 18th edition of R+T Asia say the successful event concluded with a historic record of visitation and high international participation, leaving a significant impact on the industry and signaling a new era of international-format gatherings in post-pandemic China.
The total number of visitors, hailing from 98 different countries (including China), surpassed all predictions and reached 50,881, marking the highest attendance since the show’s inception. Despite the logistical challenges posed by extended visa processing timelines and ongoing flight route adjustments, an impressive total of 11,506 industry professionals from overseas chose to visit R+T Asia 2023, reaching 90% of the international visitation recorded in the 2019 edition.
“R+T Asia 2023 exceeded all expectations. After three years, the international R+T family came together again. These three incredible days full of interesting meetings, groundbreaking innovations and outstanding conference program will undoubtedly drive progress in the sun shading and doors/gates sector. We look forward to welcoming everyone to the upcoming R+T Alliance shows in Istanbul, Orlando and of course Stuttgart next February,” said Bernhard Mueller, Vice President of Landmesse Stuttgart, the co-organizing company.
A total of 702 exhibiting companies from 13 countries converged to showcase their latest offerings, ranging from smart automation systems to energy-efficient sun shading solutions and advanced technologies for doors/gates, covering a space of 100,000 sqm. As networking and business expansion opportunities thrived at this year’s edition, leading companies, including renowned names such as A-OK, Ateja Tritunggal, Baolong, Bestex, Bofu, Coulisse, Doortec, Elitex, Hsin Huan, Ider, Lander, MYT Shutters, Novo, SofiDecora, Teh Yor, Xera, Xianfeng, Xidamen and others, have already confirmed their participation in the 2024 edition.
The 2023 show accomplished another feat by successfully organizing a Hosted Buyer Programme. This initiative brought together buyer group delegations from Europe, North America, and Southeast Asia, fostering cross-continental collaboration and enabling tailored interactions. The programme extended invitations to esteemed buyer groups, many of whom were attending R+T Asia for the first time. More than 50 visiting buyers were treated to tailor-made booth tours, aligned with their specific product group interests, ensuring a focused and efficient exploration of exhibitor offerings.
R+T Asia 2023 also hosted an array of seminars and workshops, establishing a platform for industry experts to share invaluable insights. This strategic initiative underscored R+T Asia’s commitment to fostering knowledge exchange and innovation. One of the standout highlights was the International Window and Door Summit (IWDS) and the Low-Carbon Interior Decoration Innovation Conference which created a synergistic environment that offered attendees a comprehensive view of sustainable building practices and environmentally conscious interior design.
The 19th edition of R+T Asia will return from 28 to 30 May 2024 at the NECC in Shanghai for yet another chapter of transformative experience in the sun shading and door/gate industry.
