Lahore
Pakistan Furniture Council (PFC) is all set to hold 3-day mega 12th Interiors Pakistan Expo 2020 from October 02 at Dustoor Event Complex Sialkot to promote and introduce Pakistani interiors, furniture and accessories in and outside Pakistan.
Talking to media persons, PFC Chief Executive Mian Kashif Ashfaq said the expo aimed at promoting and introducing Pakistani interiors, furniture and accessories in and outside Pakistan. In past, PFC had successfully organized eleven mega exhibitions at Lahore, Karachi and Islamabad and got tremendous response from the public and private sector alike, he added.
He said PFC is organizing an “Interior Pakistan” exhibition for the first time in Sialkot and traders and exporters are showing their keen interest in this exhibition.
He said Sialkot is an important economic hub and is the only export-oriented city in Pakistan where 99 percent of items produced are exported to various parts of the globe.
Through export, Sialkot-based small and medium industries are earning foreign exchange amounting to over 1.30 billion dollars yearly and strengthening the national exchequer.
Mian Kashif, who is also chairman of Faisalabad Industrial Estate Development and Management Company (FIEDMC), said that Pakistan exports furniture products of worth $8 million to $12 million annually, but these figures do not mirror the actual potential of the industry and its capacity to produce high-quality furniture items.—INP
