Where exhibitors display innovation, buyers discover trends & the industry connects to do business.……and where the TFI Envision, Inc. team found inspiration at every turn.

The just-concluded 2017 International Home + Housewares Show at McCormick Place in Chicago, was sold-out with 2,204 exhibitors from 47 countries and featured a focus on the smart home and connected products.

“This is a favorite trade show of ours. It completely takes over McCormick Place and everywhere you turn, there is inspiration and innovation. From color trends and product concepts to trade show booth development. We were delighted to see the award winning Amco Houseworks® logo and product line that we designed in a prominent position among the kitchen utensils area of the show,” said Mary Ellen Butkus, VP, TFI Envision.
