The largest fair of the sector and main event of the furniture and wood industry was an absolute success in all numbers, the ninth edition of ForMóbile - International Trade Show For The Furniture and Wood Industries, confirmed the confidence of the sector and consolidated once and for all as the largest event of the sector in Latin America!

ForMóbile 2022 took place from July 5th to 8th at the São Paulo Expo, the largest and most modern pavilion in Latin America. More than 500 national and international exhibitors presented the main novelties, trends, and technologies of the furniture industry to a visiting public that exceeded the mark of 50 thousand professionals, in an occupied area of more than 50,000m² of exhibition.

SUSTAINABILITY | ForMóbile worked together with the exhibitors to increase their sustainable awareness, prioritizing the reduction of disposable materials and the intelligent and rational use of resources.

The preparation began even before the event. ForMóbile anticipated the registrations in digital format to reduce paper printing and prioritized digital communications. The materials that require printing, such as maps of the fair, were made with FSC - Certified paper. The general orientation for exhibiting brands in 2022 was about the intelligent use of transportation and materials, such as encouraging the use of LED lamps in the stands to reduce energy consumption and the use of reusable structures. About 20% of all the carpeting in the fair is also reusable.
