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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe clear and overall commitment from the companies shows that LIGNA remains the premier platform for international market players,\u201d says Stephanie Wagner, Head of LIGNA at Deutsche Messe AG. \u201cFifteen 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,\u201d Wagner adds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Among the industry leaders are major players such as Homag, Weinig, Biesse, SCM, Leitz, Leuco, Dieffenbacher, Siempelkamp, Sennebogen, Liebherr, Barberan, Cefla, Robert B\u00fcrkle, Ledinek, Linck, Microtec, Festool, Mafell, Hundegger, and Felder. Wagner: \u201cThese 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 \u2018Global Industry Gathering\u2019. LIGNA\u2019s strong booking status shows that exhibitors use the fair as an international platform to demonstrate expertise, strength, innovation and global visibility \u2013 particularly in a challenging environment. The impressive registration numbers also highlight how important LIGNA\u2019s objectives currently are for the companies: whether technological advancements, new market requirements or the need for international exchange at decision-maker level \u2013 exhibitors view LIGNA as a stable anchor point at a time when numerous markets are under simultaneous pressure.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dr. Bernhard Dirr, Managing Director VDMA Woodworking Machinery Association sees the opportunities arising from a rapidly changing global economy. \u201cThe global uncertainty and changes in the world economy \u2013 inconvenient as they often may be \u2013 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 \u2013 simply because it is most visible here. Exhibitors are eager to make use of this effect.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
