After the editions 2014 and 2016 XIA-Xylexpo Innovation Awards come back also this year, an initiative that had created much curiosity and interest. The success convinced the organizers to repeat the initiative, exclusively for exhibitors, based on innovation in the technical sense, element of great value for Xylexpo. The 50th anniversary of Xylexpo will be held between May 8 and 12, 2018 at the Milan Fairgrounds.
Looking forward to next Xylexpo, excellent news are coming from the woodworking market. Global leader Germany’s export in the first six months of 2017 exceeded one billion euro, with a 7 percent increase compared to the same period of the previous year.
Italy remains at number two in the ranking of technology manufacturers, with 274 million euro export in the first half 2017. The United States are the main destination for “made in Italy” products, while the second and third places are occupied by Germany and Poland respectively.
All big brands (Homag, Weinig-Holz Her, Cefla, Ima Schelling, Scm and Biesse, in this sequence) have submitted their registrations, some of them with a significant expansion of their booth area. As a result, organizers have decided to add one hall, hall 4.
Halls 1 and 3 will host companies specializing in the production of panel processing machinery and tools, surface finishing and the related products, hardware, semifinished materials and supplies; halls 2 and 4 will be dedicated to panel and solid wood processing machinery and tools, primary operation equipment and tools, semifinished materials and complementary accessories.
Again this year – in line with an approach that Xylexpo adopted several years ago before all major international exhibitions – each hall will have a “focal point” represented by one or more industry “giants”. In hall 1 this role will be played by Biesse and Barberan, in hall 2 it will be Scm Group. Homag and Cefla will be the focus in hall 3, Ima and Weinig in hall 4.
