The Deck & Flooring Expo provides the ultimate platform to connect the industry.

The organisers of the timber trade expo, WoodEX for Africa, are launching a new, specialised trade expo targeted at the residential, commercial and industrial flooring and decking markets to be held at Gallagher Convention Centre from 11 to 13 July.

Stephan Jooste, Deck & Flooring Expo organiser, comments,“ We have deep roots in the timber industry and detect a niche in the market for manufacturers and suppliers of decking and flooring materials, from raw timber, composite and WPC decking all the way to coatings and sealants, to have better access to their customers and markets.”
