The furniture and wood products industry in Romania sends a strong signal in 2026: BIFE-SIM returns to a two-exhibition pavilion format, for the first time in 6 years.
The edition that will take place during the period September 17–20, 2026, ROMEXPO, confirms not only the return of the sector's most important event to the scale that established it, but also the confidence that companies place in this platform for business, promotion, and professional dialogue.
With three months to go before the official opening, 75% of the exhibition space has already been reserved, even though the organizers have significantly expanded the available space by utilizing both pavilions, B1 and B2.
This evolution reflects the dynamics of an industry that continues to invest, innovate, and seek new development opportunities in domestic and international markets.
More than an exhibition, a platform for promotion and development
BIFE-SIM is not just an exhibition event. For over three decades, it has been the main meeting point for the furniture industry, bringing together manufacturers, technology and material suppliers, designers, architects, retailers, real estate developers, professional organizations, and institutional partners. In an economic context marked by accelerated transformations, pressures on competitiveness, and changes in consumer behavior, the industry needs platforms that facilitate collaboration, idea exchange, and the development of new partnerships more than ever. BIFE-SIM 2026 aims to meet precisely this need. The new exhibition structure has been designed to offer visitors and exhibitors a clearer, more efficient, and better-organized experience.
Pavilion B2: Furniture. Design. Furnishings. Lifestyle.
It is dedicated to furniture manufacturers, product design, decorations, accessories, and solutions for furnishing residential and commercial spaces.
