Curtains up for Sleep Well Expo Istanbul!

Time is ripe for the premiere edition of Sleep Well Expo, the first sleep products fair of Turkey and a big geography around Turkey

It is a big challenge! There is no other mattress and sleep products fair in Balkans, East Europe, Middle East, Russia or Central Asian Turkic Republics and in other C.I.S. countries. Istanbul has been the first spot to kick off the business and open up a show dedicated only to sleep products. Ihlas Fair Services Company pushed the button!

Istanbul deserves such an initiation. It is a powerful center for production, exports and transportation. It is one of the few most suitable and lucrative centers for business. It is also a touristic value especially in second half of April and throughout May.

From April 17 to 20, Istanbul’s Expo Center will host some 4-5 thousand professionals to see the latest products in the industry. Everybody from exhibitors to visitors is excited for a lovely show. There will be more than a hundred names to show their latest products.

Istanbul is a natural beauty, a historical value and a business treasure for millions. As one of the most eye-catching cities of the world, Istanbul attracts most visitors and investors from Germany. Then come Russian Federation, Georgia and other European nations. You might be fascinated by the magic of the Bosphorus, the Blue Mosque, Topkapi Palace, Dolmabahce Palace, the two intercontinental bridges connecting Europe to Asia, the Maiden Tower, Galata Tower or Basilica Cistern. Or you could be influenced by the taste and aroma of very rich traditional Turkish cuisine originating from the Ottoman times. You will feel the warmth of the internationally acknowledged Turkish hospitality.

When a businessman comes to Istanbul he or she is first surrendered by the historical, natural or culinary attractions of the city. It also offers the best business opportunities. As the commercial capital city of 76-millon populated country with dynamic and strong economy, Istanbul is a focus of attention for thousands of foreign investors. The government has been supporting foreign investments and opens the way to easiest transactions and lucrative business returns.

April is the best time to come to Istanbul for pleasure. It is one of the most ideal times to come for business, too. Last April, the city attracted foreigners as listed below:

Germany: 356,621

Russia: 200,740

The Turkish sleep products industry has been prospering fast for all aspects from mattress to machinery, from pillows to quilts, from bed base to headboards. It adapts the latest trends and technologies.

The industry imports a lot, too. Turkey is a good market for machinery, some types of mattresses and raw materials.

This high potential urged Ihlas Fair Services Company to launch the first sleep products exhibition SLEEP WELL EXPO scheduled for April 17-20, 2014. We will see how much this important event will contribute to the above tourism figures.

 “Sleep Well Expo Istanbul shaped up excellent!”

Stating that the fair attracted a great deal of interest from domestic market and by companies from different countries, Ahmet Aslanturk, Project Manager of Sleep Well Expo outlined, “Sleep Well Expo covers the mattress main
industry, sub industry, machinery and equipment. The venue of this important fair is Istanbul Expo Center, which is exactly facing the Istanbul Ataturk International Airport. When an exhibitor or a visitor arrives at Istanbul by air, he or she could even walk to the exhibition ground. The premiere edition of this annual event will be April 17-20, 2014. As the first of its kind in Turkey, Sleep Well Expo will contribute to Turkey’s being a production hub for the mattress industry. Sleep Well Expo will host a professional platform where the latest technologies and products will be showcased altogether. Because of ever increasing value of mattress and other sleep products the fair will be an important organization which will bring
leading companies and reps of the industry together. Many international companies doing business with Turkey in this industry have already shown their interest in the fair which will bring together CEOs, top level officials, purchasing managers, producers, consumers, foreign and domestic
dealers and representatives. Product groups of the fair include Turkish mattress producers, mattress importers, furniture and mattress stores, foreign mattress producers, sub-industry products, mattress and quilting machinery and equipment, etc.
