News|Three Major International Timber Industry Conferencesto

BeHeld Concurrentlyin Deqingfrom November19-21

As China's wood flooring companies continue to ramp up production resumption rates, the industry is collectively focused on how to adjust development strategies under the "dual circulation" framework, accelerate product transformation, expand sales channels, and adapt to the domestic consumer market. To analyze industry opportunities and challenges, integrate supply chains, and foster collaboration, the "2020 World Wood Flooring Conference" will be jointly hosted by our association and the Huzhou Municipal Government on November 20–21 in Deqing County, Huzhou. Concurrently, the 10th World Wood and Wood Products Trade Conference, 2020 World Hardwood Conference, and 2020 China (Huzhou) Green Wood Industry Expo will take place.

"Global Flooring Looks to China; Chinese Flooring Looks to Huzhou"—this industry consensus reflects Huzhou’s dominance, accounting for over 66% of China’s total flooring output. With the sector expanding, companies must leverage resources, strengthen branding, and drive innovation to thrive in competitive markets.
