Philippine-made products are once again showcased during the world’s largest consumer goods fair held in Germany.

The international fair featured 4,441 exhibitors from 89 countries, and 134,600 buyers from 168 countries held in a 43 football traditional rattan weaving. From the Philippines, eighteen export companies participated the European Trade Fair showcasing products for home and fashion.

We-Link has continuously built Brand Philippines all over the world by bringing our manufacturers to major trade fairs to showcase the Filipino talent.

All in all, almost 40 exhibitors represented the country’s manufacturers.

Some of the unique designs includes wall accents made of abaca, recycled election tarpaulins, and vintage-shaped chairs made modern with traditional rattan weaving.
