Representatives from the Forest Products Marketing Council of Guyana
(FPMC), Precision Woodworking Limited, and the USAID Guyana Trade and
Investment Support (GTIS) project will be attending a wholesale home
furnishings show in High Point, North Carolina, US, scheduled to begin
today and last until Sunday.

Precision Woodworking will be exhibiting select pieces of their new
line of outdoor furniture, including several different designs of
tables and chairs.

According to a GTIS release, Joint Managing Director of Precision
Rustum Bulkan is hoping that the High Point Market will be their
introduction to the US market.

In an effort to realize this goal, Bulkan has contacted ten of the
largest American furniture wholesalers who will be attending the market
to discuss and hopefully finalize future deals.

Meanwhile, FPMC Director Luvindra Sukhraj will also be attending High
Point to help promote Guyana's other forest product manufacturers who
are not able to be there.

High Point Market is the world's largest wholesale home furnishing show
that features 11.5 million square feet of exhibition space and 2,100
manufacturers displaying everything from upholstery to bedding, and
rugs to furniture.
