Valencia, 31th July 2018.- Feria Hábitat Valencia continues to add content to what will be one of the central features of the upcoming edition: the contract sector.

Delivered by prestigious specifiers and professionals who are specialists in this route to market, the workshop will analyse and discuss the future of the contract business.
This is a major event that will bring the main operators in the business together and has prompted considerable expectation amongst professionals who are already working in this area or are thinking about broaching it.

The seminar is being organized by Grupo Vía, specialists in this kind of event, and sponsored by Vondom, Skyline, Point, Voolcan and Ecus.
Industrialization in the contract sector
This seminar on the future of the contract sector will take place over the morning and will be complemented by another, centred on this particular business sector from the point of view of industrialization and the search for new niches in the market. The seminar is being organized by Ecus Sleep and will be moderated by contract specialist Rubén Pons.
