QUOTE/ SMME’s comment
" Thanks to SEDFA, we had the opportunity to participate in the 2025 Decorex trade show, which allowed us to sell products from our exhibition stand. The show enabled us to connect with a wide range of buyers, two of whom have since become regular clients. We were also introduced to several designers with whom we are currently in discussions regarding future collaborative designs. Decorex proved to be a valuable platform for maintaining industry connections and consistently showcasing our brand. Thank you Tanger for this opportunity”.
