Celebrating an impressive 30 years, kbb Birmingham, the UK’s largest gathering of the world’s best
kitchen, bedroom and bathroom brands, returns to th e NEC, Birmingham from 6th – 9th March 2016.
Since the recession, which caused many
businesses in the sector to suffer, the
show has seen the industry pull through
and is now proud to put on its largest
edition since pre-2008. With so much
support from the kbb community, the
Birmingham event has been able to
extend its floorspace by over 30% with
an increase of appliance, component and
bathroom brands as well as more kitchen
manufacturers, with many launching
brand new products to the market.
Kbb Birmingham 2016 sees the return

year, looking to future facing materials,
helping businesses with their future
and exploring new and innovative
products. The new kbb show, sponsored
by ArtiCAD, will allow manufacturers,
suppliers and buyers engage more
effectively during and after the show.
The Innovation Awards, in partnership
with blum, aim to discover a product,
method or idea that will provide a new
