Gateway to the heart of Europe’s flooring industry
Innovation, sustainability and, above all, quality: that is what defines modern flooring. Across Europe, businesses in the industry are seeking meaningful connections to strengthen both their products and their market position. To this end, an initiative launched by a select group of founding fathers in 2021 has evolved into the leading event in the industry, attracting more than one hundred European brands and a host of international buyers from 78 countries to Flanders this year. Anyone wishing to showcase their products and connect with other players in hard and soft flooring, should mark their calendar for the next edition of Flanders Flooring Days.
If you’re looking to network with Europe’s leading flooring manufacturers or international buyers, there’s only one place to be: Flanders Flooring Days. Since its launch in 2021, this high-end business event has grown steadily, attracting more exhibitors and visitors each edition. Increasingly, international participants have joined to present their latest collections. This has turned the Hub in Kortrijk Xpo and the participating showrooms on location into a true gateway to European flooring excellence. Today, 72% of the FFD2025 participants have already confirmed their participation to FFD2026. The fifth edition in May 2026 will mark the pinnacle of its young yet significant history.
International buyers meeting European manufacturers
“Flanders Flooring Days is quickly becoming Europe’s leading flooring exhibition”, according to Alessio Marco Ranaldo, Commercial Manager at the Italian ALMA CARPETS. “We’re meeting knowledgeable professionals who truly understand the industry. That makes every conversation more meaningful and avoids superficial interactions. The quality of the contacts here is simply higher than at any other show in Europe.”
Visitor numbers keep climbing and in 2025, the number of exhibitors increased by as much as 20 percent. Robert Siewes, Sales Manager at Egger, explains why European manufacturers can’t miss this event: “Unlike larger consumer-focused fairs, this event offers the time and space to connect directly with the clients who truly matter to us. We meet professionals, not passers-by, and can have focused conversations about our latest collections.” A significant part of his colleagues agrees: 72 percent of the exhibitors have already booked a spot for next year’s edition. The 2026 edition promises to be the biggest yet.
Flooring’s natural habitat
“Flanders Flooring Days brings manufacturers together in a key location in Western Europe — right where the flooring industry naturally connects”, Jonathan Middelkoop, R&D Manager at Dutch Betap remarks. “The market may be challenging, but that only strengthens the need to be present, to show who we are, and to showcase the very best of Betap. Our presence at Kortrijk Xpo is the perfect opportunity to do just that.”
On top of connecting with the cream of European manufacturers, visitors and exhibitors are also treated to an inspiring seminar program. At the most recent edition, speakers shared insights into current trends and the thought processes behind them, and focused on sustainability. The exclusive Flanders Flooring Night was highly appreciated by the invited guests.
