New Made in U.S.A. Pavilion Opening at Winter 2012 Las Vegas Market

World Market Center will debut a new Made in U.S.A. pavilion for the upcoming Winter 2012 Las Vegas Market, 30 January - 3 February 2012 featuring American-made products from nearly 40 companies. This showcase follows on the successful launch of the American pavilion at Suites at Market Square at the Fall High Point Market, and gives manufacturers, buyers and designers who attend Las Vegas Market the opportunity to experience a west coast version of the popular destination. The new 5,000-square-foot pavilion, located in on the second floor of Building B, will showcase distinctive American-made furniture and home décor products and collections, highlighting the growing trend toward American-made goods in the industry.

“As more and more consumers move toward the trend in supporting and buying local and domestically made products, Las Vegas Market wanted to present a single destination on the West Coast for those companies to showcase their goods,” said Margaret Powers, vice president of tradeshows/Las Vegas. “This new pavilion gives all our manufacturers an opportunity to highlight their made in U.S.A. wares while providing buyers one-stop-shopping for these highly sought-after products. In particular we think our growing international buyer base will be anxious to visit this uniquely American market destination.”

A special highlight of this new pavilion will be Las Vegas Market's partnership with Rick Dale and his shop, Rick's Restoration, featured in the hit History Channel show “American Restoration.” Rick's Restoration will showcase their one-of-a-kind pieces featured on the show, as well as the before-and-after looks of these professionally-restored pieces of American history. Additionally, Las Vegas Market has secured vintage pieces of local Las Vegas neon history through the world-famous Neon Museum and Boneyard. Select pieces of historical American neon from the heyday of Las Vegas glitz and glamour will be highlighted throughout the pavilion with these unrestored and unique pieces.

Exhibiting companies in the new Made in U.S.A. pavilion include Oak Design Corporation, ITW Dahti Seating, Whittier Wood Furniture, Old Hickory Furniture Co., Sole/Divani Designs, McClure Tables, Supracor, Dapwood Furniture Co., Utah Mountain Furniture and Cambridge Mills.

The pavilion will also feature a product showcase with examples of American-made wares from many permanent Las Vegas Market exhibitors from across the campus. Showcasing their domestically-produced products in the Made in U.S.A pavilion will include ACME Furniture, Adagio Water Features, Anthony California, Best Home Furnishings, Capel Rugs, Fine Art Tapestries, Fireside Lodge Furniture Company, Four Hands, Furniture Traditions, Imagine That!, India House, Karastan Rugs, King's Rattan, Legends Furniture, Leggett & Platt Consumer Products Group, Manual Woodworkers, Marshfield Furniture, Montana Woodworks, Omnia Leather Furniture, Pacific Coast Lighting, Peninsula Home Collection, Pure Country Rustic Décor, Reliant Ribbon, Rene Cazares/RC Furniture, Rowe Furniture, Simply Amish and Veneman. Buyers will be able to view a sampling of these exhibitors American-made goods and follow up by visiting their permanent showroom at World Market Center Las Vegas.

Las Vegas Market will also celebrate this new pavilion with a special “Party in the U.S.A.” event on 31 January 2012 from 4-6 p.m. on the B2 floor. Attendees will enjoy all-American fare including sliders, mac-n-cheese, special desserts and signature cocktails, adding to the domestically-inspired party.
