National Stand at the International Trade Fair MEBLE POLSKA 2026, Poznań

The Slovak Investment and Trade Development Agency (SARIO) organised the national exhibition of the Slovak Republic at the international trade fair MEBLE POLSKA 2026, held in Poznań from 24 to 27 February 2026. A total of 11 Slovak furniture manufacturers presented their products and services at the event, conducting more than 300 B2B meetings with foreign business partners over the course of the fair.

The participation of Slovak companies was implemented under the national project Support for the Internationalisation of SMEs 2, financed by the Slovakia Programme. This marked the first systematic support for Slovak furniture producers in Poland during the project’s implementation and represented the formal entry of this segment of Slovak industry into the Polish market through a national exhibition.

MEBLE POLSKA is one of the largest furniture trade fairs in Europe and has a strong international profile. Each year, it attracts manufacturers, distributors and business partners not only from the Central and Eastern European region but also from Western European countries, whose interest in the event has been steadily increasing in recent years. The fair therefore represents an important platform for developing business relations and entering new markets.

The return of Slovak companies to this market is a significant step towards expanding their export activities and strengthening trade relations within the region.

During the fair, the official opening of the Slovak Republic’s national pavilion took place. The ceremony was attended by Andrea Elscheková-Matisová, Ambassador of the Slovak Republic to Poland; Egon Zorad, Director General of SARIO; Gabriel Gottgeisl, Director of the National Project Department at SARIO; Dagmar Urbanová, Economic Diplomat at the Embassy of the Slovak Republic in Poland; Robert Wielicki, President of the Management Board of Grupa MTP; and Filip Bittner, Vice-President. Their participation, together with representatives of export-support institutions and the management of the trade fair organiser, underlined the importance of MEBLE POLSKA as a platform for genuine business dialogue and the development of international cooperation.

Slovakia was represented at the fair by the following companies: ABAmet, Brik, ekki, GKT, IW Trend, KOCKA INDUSTRY, Krošlák, Lukamasiv, Millhill, twd SK and Westieri.

As part of Slovakia’s presentation, SARIO also promoted the FIND IN SLOVAKIA tool, which the agency actively showcases in foreign markets. The objective is not only to support the export of Slovak products, but also to systematically position Slovakia as an attractive investment and business environment.
