Among those who witnessed the opening was Di Dongliang, executive president of logistics department of Xiang Jiang Group, who signed a strategic federal agreement with attending national famous furniture brand enterprises yesterday.

Zhang Chuanxi, executive chairman of China Furniture & Decoration Chamber of Commerce, says Chengdu's economy is rapidly developing, the western furniture sector is increasing and Chengdu has been the greatest furniture sector highland in the western region, with its vital geographical position and its function as the core of Western China. We believe that Chengdu will be the first choice for the Chinese furniture sector in the next few years.

Zhong Wenhua, chairman of Sichuan Furniture & Decoration Chamber of Commerce and chairman of the board of Hao Di Furniture, says that Chengdu is the second largest furniture production base and the largest panel furniture production base, with about one million employees; this data indicates that the furniture production enterprise of Chengdu ranks among the best in China.

Currently, the trend among the domestic furniture sector is relocating from the coastal region to inland China, from the east to the west. It is time for coastal furniture enterprises to occupy the western market. As a result, the Xiang Jiang Group has chosen the western, most vital city - Chengdu to develop and construct its global furniture exchange platform.
