<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FIMMA + Maderalia 2026 has officially opened at Feria Valencia, Spain, bringing together international manufacturers, technology providers, material suppliers and industry professionals for one of the major meetings of the global woodworking and furniture manufacturing sectors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Taking place from 10 to 13 November, the biennial exhibition is hosting 447 direct exhibitors and 927 represented companies and brands from 28 countries. Covering more than 72,000 square metres across six exhibition halls, this year’s edition marks a 3% increase in represented companies and brands compared with the previous event in 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The exhibition reinforces its position as an important European business platform for the woodworking and furniture industries, offering a comprehensive overview of developments across machinery, production technology, materials, components and interior solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

International participation drives business opportunities<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

International participation remains a defining feature of FIMMA + Maderalia 2026, with 43% of exhibitors coming from outside Spain. Companies from markets including Germany, Italy, France, China, India, the United States, the United Kingdom and Portugal are contributing to the exhibition’s international profile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The event is also expecting more than 500 international VIP buyers from strategically important markets, particularly the European Union, the Maghreb and Latin America. Supported by an expanded International Buyers Programme and B2B meetings, the initiative aims to connect manufacturers with distributors, purchasing organisations and potential business partners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The growing international participation reflects the importance of the exhibition as a meeting point for companies seeking new markets, commercial partnerships and opportunities across the global woodworking supply chain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Machinery, automation and materials in focus<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bringing together two complementary exhibitions, FIMMA and Maderalia cover different but closely connected segments of the industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FIMMA focuses on industrial machinery, woodworking equipment, tools, automation, software and advanced production technologies. Maderalia, meanwhile, showcases materials and components for furniture manufacturing, carpentry, interior design and contract projects, including decorative surfaces, panels, hardware, fittings and other solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Together, the exhibitions provide visitors with an opportunity to explore technologies and materials supporting greater production efficiency, improved manufacturing processes and new design possibilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Industrialised timber construction makes its debut<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A major development in the 2026 edition is the introduction of the Industrialised Construction Hall, reflecting the growing importance of timber and industrialised building methods in the construction sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the highlights is a live timber house construction project designed by architect Dani Sirvent P\u00e9rez and built by SIDO Madera. The structure is being assembled during the exhibition, demonstrating the practical application of modular timber construction and off-site manufacturing techniques.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The project also highlights the potential of prefabricated timber systems in delivering efficient construction processes and adaptable building solutions. Following the exhibition, the house will be dismantled into modules and relocated for use as a permanent residence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The initiative provides visitors with a closer look at how woodworking expertise, material innovation and industrial production can contribute to the development of modern timber construction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

New spaces for design and professional exchange<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beyond machinery and materials, the 2026 exhibition is expanding its engagement with architects, interior designers, carpentry professionals and the contract sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

New dedicated spaces include the Interior Design and Contract Agora, while the EASD Space provides a platform for emerging design talent and creative perspectives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The programme also features more than 100 conferences and professional activities, addressing industry developments, technical innovation, construction methods and emerging business opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A platform for the industry’s next phase<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the woodworking and furniture industries respond to changing manufacturing requirements, material innovation and the demand for more efficient production systems, FIMMA + Maderalia 2026 provides a platform for examining the technologies and solutions shaping their future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By bringing machinery manufacturers, material suppliers, furniture producers, designers and construction professionals together, the exhibition offers a broad perspective on the evolving relationship between industrial manufacturing, design and the use of wood in modern applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With four days of exhibitions, live demonstrations, technical discussions and business meetings ahead, Valencia is once again at the centre of the international woodworking and furniture industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
