Koelnmesse and Traya Eksibisi Internasional have announced a strategic collaboration to launch Interzum Kakarta and International Hardware Fair (IHF) Indonesia, alongside IFMAC Woodmac, Indonesia’s leading event for the woodworking community.

The 3-in-1 event will be held from 24-27 September, 2025, at Jakarta International Expo (JIExpo). This concept replicates the successful model in Guangzhou, where CIFF/interzum guangzhou and CIFM are co-located together.

The collaboration aims to consolidate and co-locate three major events, showcasing the entire furniture production value chain under one roof, complemented by a dedicated hardware industry trade fair.

This initiative will provide a comprehensive platform for industry professionals to conveniently explore the latest innovations, trends and technologies in furniture production, woodworking machinery, and hardware at a single location.

An Interzum showcase debuted in Indonesia as part of IFFINA from 14-17 September, 2024, and concluded successfully, featuring major brands such as Blum, Haefele, American Hardwood Export Council, Cyberlock and others.

The success of this showcase has led to its expansion into a full trade fair show, now called Interzum Jakarta, which will be launched as a full trade fair show alongside the debut of the International Hardware Fair Indonesia in 2025.

The combined events will cover the entire value chain, from raw materials and components to machinery and tools, providing a one-stop solution for industry professionals. The involvement in IFMAC is a strategic move to eliminate competition between the three distinct shows, and instead foster synergies by leveraging IFMAC’s existing visitor and partner base.

South-East Asia is the world’s fastest growing region, with significant economic expansion and a young population. Indonesia, with a population of 280 million, is the largest market in the region and a major global furniture manufacturing hub.

The country emphasises protecting and developing its local furniture industry, investing heavily in upgrading manufacturing capabilities, and reducing raw material exports.

The event is expected to attract over 20,000 attendees, including industry professionals, exhibitors and visitors from around the region. It aims to provide unparalleled networking opportunities for stakeholders across the value-chain and foster meaningful connections within the industry.
