Raising the bar - Award Winners add to IFFS/AFS prestige
Singapore Furniture Industry Award winners, Koda and Sitra Holdings, will set new quality benchmarks at IFFS/AFS 2007. Winners of the gold and silver awards at the Singapore Furniture  Industry Award (SFIA) 2006, the two local furniture leaders both won kudos for financial growth, manufacturing, management philosophies and overall consistency. Their participation at IFFS/AFS 2007 strengthens the show’s reputation as the global industry anticipates Asia’s “must-see” furniture trade event.

IFFS/AFS 2007 Organising Committee Chairman, Mr Jerry Tan says: “We are proud to count the winners of SFIA among our exhibitors at IFFS/AFS 2007. Their presence reaffirms the show’s ability to attract world-class furniture trade exhibitors and buyers. The companies are representative of high-calibre local furniture players whose products and designs make a big impact at the show. Coupled with the enthusiastic participation that we’ve received from leading furniture players worldwide, we are confident that IFFS/AFS 2007 will continue live up to its reputation as the ‘Best Show in Asia’.”

Amongst these are other SFIA 2006 winners, including the award's top three Furniture Retailers Air Division, Zen Tradition Living and Eurosa Furniture who will be joining the wide array of prominent international companies showcasing a diverse range of quality products at IFFS/AFS 2007.
