| In September 2009, Spradling exhibited at the MoOD (Meet only Original Designs) Fair, formerly known as Decosit, in Brussels, Belgium. The fair's focus is exhibiting the newest designs and technology in upholstery fabrics for the contract/outdoor furnishing markets. This year, the main highlights were: - The launch of 13 new colors for Valencia, the most popular pattern in Europe, which now includes 33 eye-catching colors. - Presentation of Spradling's well-known brands: PERMABLOK³® Advanced Vinyl Protection, PERMAGUARD® Superior Stain Resistance, and SILVEGUARD® Silver Ion Technology. - Dialog with attendees addressing future design demands and evolving vinyl-coated fabric technology. In spite of the recession, Spradling's booth attendance was higher than normal. Certainly, the 2009 MoOD Fair proved its value both to Spradling's various visitors and a wonderful insight into the future needs of the contract furnishings market. |
