LIGNA 2027 is happy to announce that over 80 percent space has been booked
Over a year left to welcome guests, yet the industry is not wasting time to confirm its space at the showfloor. LIGNA announces that over 80percent of the exhibition space has been booked already, and woodworking and wood processing industry is gearing up to meet for business at Hannover soon. LIGNA, the leading trade fair for the wood working industry once again proves itself to be the ideal destination for the industry professionals.
“The clear and overall commitment from the companies shows that LIGNA remains the premier platform for international market players,” says Stephanie Wagner, Head of LIGNA at Deutsche Messe AG. “Fifteen months ahead of LIGNA 2027, more than 80 percent of the exhibition space relative to the final total of LIGNA 2025 is already booked. Two-thirds of exhibitors have already registered for the trade fair,” Wagner adds.
Among the industry leaders are major players such as Homag, Weinig, Biesse, SCM, Leitz, Leuco, Dieffenbacher, Siempelkamp, Sennebogen, Liebherr, Barberan, Cefla, Robert Bürkle, Ledinek, Linck, Microtec, Festool, Mafell, Hundegger, and Felder. Wagner: “These companies represent the entire Woodworking Community, which strengthens Germany as a trade fair location, brings the international woodworking industry to Hanover every two years, and collectively formulates the ambition to fulfil and further develop the label ‘Global Industry Gathering’. LIGNA’s strong booking status shows that exhibitors use the fair as an international platform to demonstrate expertise, strength, innovation and global visibility – particularly in a challenging environment. The impressive registration numbers also highlight how important LIGNA’s objectives currently are for the companies: whether technological advancements, new market requirements or the need for international exchange at decision-maker level – exhibitors view LIGNA as a stable anchor point at a time when numerous markets are under simultaneous pressure.”
Dr. Bernhard Dirr, Managing Director VDMA Woodworking Machinery Association sees the opportunities arising from a rapidly changing global economy. “The global uncertainty and changes in the world economy – inconvenient as they often may be – also present opportunities for our industry. Production sites are being shifted more frequently than in the past. The investment pressure driven by societal trends is steadily increasing, and many planned investments have already been postponed for quite some time. Significant progress is also becoming evident in areas that may not come to mind immediately, such as recycling technologies or measurement technology. In May 2027, LIGNA will serve as the central marketplace of the industry, providing orientation. With its new date and without a national public holiday, it will fully live up to its outstanding role as an innovation fair. Modern woodworking thrives on innovation, much of which emerges at LIGNA – simply because it is most visible here. Exhibitors are eager to make use of this effect.”
