BIFA Wood Vietnam, one of the country’s leading wood and woodworking exhibition held in Binh Duong, Vietnam is postponed to August 8 – 11, 2022. “Currently, Vietnam borders are still closed and quarantine is required upon arrival,” elaborated William Pang, co-organiser of BIFA Wood Vietnam and publisher of the Panels & Furniture Group of wood magazines.
“Moving our event to August will give Vietnam and other borders more time to establish quarantine free travel for visitors and exhibitors, and more time for exhibitors to freight their exhibits or machinery for the show.”
Vietnam is increasingly recognised as the country to be for wood processing. The country’s wood and wood products exports hit a record high of US$9.3 billion in 2018, and the industry is one of the largest export industries for the country.
The postponed BIFA Wood Vietnam will be held in a new exhibition hall, the WTC Binh Duong New City Expo Centre, which was completed in mid-2021. Visitors can look forward to leading international woodworking machinery, plus hardwood, softwood and wood materials for the manufacturing of panels, flooring, doors and windows, and other industry trends and developments.
Prior to that, the 2018 edition of BIFA Wood Vietnam treated 4,200 visitors to 183 exhibitors of the latest technologies and products in the furniture manufacturing and woodworking sector.
BIFA was established as a Non-Governmental Organisation and Volunteer Association in 2009. Activities include acting as a representative voice for the technical wood industry in Binh Duong, organising trade promotions and market access, and providing policy advice to the state, disseminating and updating legal policies to BIFA’s members, cooperating with international organisations and associations to promote BIFA’s activities, providing updates on the latest technology and new machinery, providing support for training and development in human resource, connecting members, promoting intra-regional trade, and organising events and volunteer activities.
