MOSCOW, Russia — Russia is a leading economy  in the world today.

Upholstery wholesalers Amethyst, Flandria and Arben Textile and high end curtaining specialist Galleria Arben will be looking for innovative fabrics with a big order book to fill at MoOD this year.

These wholesalers report sales growth of up to 15 percent in their business in 2012 as they expand to new markets in ex-Russian republics like Belorussia and Ukraine. Belorussia is becoming an important furniture manufacturing country which is now supplying the European market much in the way that Poland emerged as a furniture player.
