The Lviv Furniture Cluster informs its members about the opportunity to join a professional trade mission to the United States organized by partners EF Cluster. The program includes visits to two key industry events of the U.S. market — KBIS (Kitchen & Bath Industry Show) and the NAHB International Builders’ Show (IBS). The trade mission will take place on February 17–20, 2026, in Orlando, Florida.
This initiative is primarily aimed at manufacturers who are members of the cluster and are considering entering the U.S. market or seeking a deeper understanding of its structure, requirements, and business logic.
Participation in the trade mission is relevant for manufacturers of kitchen and bathroom furniture, producers of building materials, as well as designers, architects, trading companies, and distributors. The program is particularly valuable for companies planning to enter the U.S. market or currently analyzing its opportunities and requirements.
For members of the Lviv Furniture Cluster, this is an opportunity to gain practical knowledge and establish contacts directly within the environment of key industry players in the United States.
Participation in the trade mission enables companies to develop a comprehensive understanding of how the U.S. market operates, including its distribution channels and product expectations. Participants gain access to expert insights, analyze current trends in the kitchen, bathroom, and construction industries, and become familiar with practical approaches to entering the U.S. market.
An additional element of the program is the opportunity to establish contacts with potential partners and to present the company on the U.S. export platform eurofurniturecenter.com.
KBIS — Kitchen & Bath Industry Show is the leading specialized exhibition for the kitchen and bath industry in the United States. It covers furniture, appliances, materials, as well as the latest design and technology innovations.
IBS — International Builders’ Show is the largest construction trade show in the United States, focusing on residential construction, building materials, innovations, and trends in the American real estate market.
Both exhibitions will take place on February 17–19, 2026.
The trade mission program includes visits to KBIS and IBS, expert-led guided tours, and organized business meetings with industry representatives. Participants will visit retail chains and showrooms and will have the opportunity to analyze products, pricing, and merchandising approaches in the U.S. market.
Special attention is given to product standards and certification requirements, which are critically important for manufacturers planning to export to the United States.
