Frequently Asked Questions
Which types of companies should participate in BIFE-SIM?
Companies engaged in furniture manufacturing and export, suppliers of interior décor products, sellers of wood processing machinery, manufacturers of floor coverings and surface coating materials, as well as furniture accessory and fastener companies, have a priority platform. For Turkish furniture companies, it is valuable both for reaching Romanian buyers and for monitoring Balkan market trends.
Why is the Romanian furniture market attracting interest?
Romania stands out in the furniture sector both as a producer and a consumer. Rising middle class and rapid urbanisation increase domestic demand, while competitive labour costs allow Turkish furniture firms to source some components from Romania.
Aynı zamanda Romanya üzerinden AB pazarına entegrasyon fırsatı da değerlendiriliyor.
How is access to Bucharest?
Direct flights from Istanbul to Bucharest take about 1.5 hours; Turkish Airlines, Tarom, and Wizz Air operate regular services. This is one of the shortest flight times from Turkey to Europe, offering a travel convenience advantage. From Henri Coandă Airport to Romexpo is approximately 45 minutes. Delta Expo is preparing a flight, transfer, and hotel package.
Are there wood processing machines at this fair?
Yes. A section of BIFE‑SIM is dedicated to furniture manufacturing technologies; cutting, shaping, sanding, coating, and painting machines are exhibited in this area. It offers direct contact opportunities with Italian, German, and Turkish machine manufacturers for buyers looking to renew the machinery fleet of furniture factories.
How does Romania’s Schengen membership affect visa procedures?
Romania became a full Schengen member in 2024; therefore, Turkish citizens now obtain the standard Schengen C‑type visa for Romania. With this visa, entry to the other 26 Schengen states is also possible. A separate visa specific to Romania is no longer required; a visa issued by any Schengen consulate—German, French, or otherwise—remains valid for Romania.
Delta Expo evaluates which consulate will process the application more quickly.
