5 Life Media Fuarcilik Life Media was established in 1995 by Mr. Irfan Tiras with the launch of the Turkish language trade magazine, Zuccaciye. In 1997 the first Zuchex exhibition was held and has since grown to become not just the largest housewares and gift show in Eurasia, but also one of Turkey s largest trade exhibitions. Life Media employs around 30 full time staff at its offices in the Istoc district of Istanbul, a hub for Turkey s housewares and gifts sector. Life Media became part of Tarsus Group in March 2012 and its portfolio consists of two annual trade events, Zuchex and Ideal Homex and four trade magazines, Zuccaciye, Life Tech, Life Plast and the English language Housewares & Gift. Zuchex 26th edition: 1-4 October 2015 Tuyap Fair & Congress Center Istanbul Zuchex is the largest exhibition for the housewares, home furnishings and decoration, electrical appliances and gifts sector in Turkey. Following its rapid growth over recent years, Zuchex now occupies 12 halls of Tuyap covering an area of 98k gross sqm and making it one of Turkey s largest trade exhibitions. From 2010 to 2011, Zuchex s total net sqm sales grew by an impressive 43% and international sqm more than doubled highlighting the increasing awareness of Zuchex as THE gateway to the potentially lucrative markets of Turkey, Eurasia, CIS, Balkans, Middle East and North Africa. This strong demand for exhibit space is set to continue as market growth is driven by increased purchasing power and home ownership, product innovation and the emergence of an organised retailing sector in Turkey and the region.

Given the ever changing tastes of end consumers, the housewares and gift sectors see constant innovations in product designs and so suppliers demand rapid access to market, hence the need for staging Ideal Homex and Zuchex in the same year. The exhibitor and visitor profiles of Ideal Homex and Zuchex are similar but each event will see new products and the latest designs on display.
