The world’s largest furniture trade show
High Point Market in North Carolina is the largest and most important event for the global furniture industry. Each year it attracts over 75,000 attendees, including approximately 40,000 retailers and interior designers from across the United States and abroad. Across more than 11 million square feet of exhibition space, around 2,000 companies present their products—from furniture manufacturers to suppliers of accessories and fabrics. The event generates a massive economic impact, estimated at over USD 6.7 billion annually for the state of North Carolina, and accounts for more than 50,000 hotel room nights in the local area. Participants can view the latest collections, explore trends, and build valuable business connections in one place.
Otinus in the furniture capital
Although Otinus specializes in metalworking machinery, we decided to take part in High Point Market 2025 because our equipment plays a key role in the production of metal furniture, structural components, and fittings. Together with our U.S. partners, we prepared a booth showcasing machines for cutting and bending steel profiles used in the construction of beds, tables, chairs, and shelving systems. We demonstrated how precise press brakes and guillotine shears can increase production efficiency, reduce material waste, and improve part repeatability.
Our presence in the furniture sector also had a strong educational dimension. Many furniture manufacturers are not fully aware that a modern metalworking line can significantly enhance the competitiveness of their operations. During discussions with designers and factory owners, we explained the importance of integrating metal components with wooden and upholstered elements, and how our machines can streamline this process.
Conclusions and summary
High Point Market 2025 once again confirmed its importance as a key meeting platform for the entire furniture industry. For Otinus, participation in High Point was an opportunity to demonstrate that metalworking technology has a substantial impact on the final appearance and durability of furniture. We would like to thank everyone who visited our booth and showed interest in our solutions. We believe that the relationships established will allow us to support furniture manufacturers in improving product quality and production efficiency.
We invite you to get in touch and look forward to seeing you at future trade shows.
