As the wood and furniture industries continue to navigate through a challenging period marked by soaring raw material prices, rising labor and energy costs, and disrupted supply chains, the DREMA 2025 Trade Fair in Poznań, Poland, promises to be a pivotal event. Scheduled from September 9-12, 2025, DREMA 2025 is set to bring together industry professionals from across the globe to address these pressing concerns and explore innovative solutions aimed at ensuring the sector’s continued growth and sustainability.
The recent landscape of the wood and furniture industries has been anything but favorable. High prices for raw materials like wood, increasing labor and energy costs, and reduced orders and exports have created substantial pressure on companies. These challenges are compounded by interrupted supply chains, making it increasingly difficult for firms to maintain profitability while adapting to fluctuating market conditions. However, the DREMA 2025 Trade Fair stands out as an opportunity for industry leaders to discover practical solutions for overcoming these hurdles.
Poland remains a global leader in furniture exports, maintaining its position as one of the world’s largest producers. However, the country faces increasing competition, especially from rapidly growing furniture industries in Central and Eastern Europe and Asia. As production costs rise, it has become imperative for Polish companies to explore technological innovations that will streamline manufacturing processes, minimize waste, and improve environmental impact.
In this context, the DREMA 2025 Trade Fair takes on even greater significance, offering a platform for companies to explore cutting-edge technologies that optimize production while minimizing costs.
At the heart of DREMA 2025 is a focus on automation and robotisation, key factors in addressing the growing pressure on production costs. Industry leaders will showcase a range of solutions designed to automate technological processes, enhance production efficiency, and reduce labor costs. These innovations will significantly improve the quality and profitability of both woodworking and furniture production, making them indispensable for businesses looking to stay competitive.
The fair’s focus on automation is particularly timely, as industries worldwide are undergoing digital transformations. Robotic technologies, smart production systems, and process automation are poised to revolutionize the wood and furniture sectors, enabling businesses to enhance output while adhering to sustainability goals.
The 2025 edition of DREMA promises to be even more comprehensive than its predecessors. With a 23% increase in exhibition space, the event will host around 400 companies from 17 countries, showcasing the latest in woodworking machinery, tools, raw materials, and innovative technologies for furniture manufacturers. Over 11,000 professionals from around the globe, including industry experts, technologists, and manufacturers, will gather to experience firsthand the state-of-the-art equipment designed to optimize production in the wood and furniture industries.
One of the standout features of DREMA 2025 will be its comprehensive focus on live demonstrations. The Live Furniture Factory will allow attendees to witness the latest machinery in action, demonstrating how modern tools and techniques can be used to create high-quality, sustainable furniture and wooden products. The factory will also contribute to charity by producing children’s furniture, further highlighting the event’s commitment to community and social responsibility.
In addition to the exhibition, DREMA 2025 offers a rich program of accompanying events aimed at fostering collaboration and knowledge-sharing among industry professionals. Key highlights include the KOOPDREW Wood Industry Congress, where experts will discuss the challenges and opportunities facing the wood sector in Poland and worldwide. The Polish Furniture Congress will focus on trends, market shifts, and economic phenomena affecting the furniture industry, while the Technologists Forum will address the latest advancements in automation, robotisation, and digital transformation.
Moreover, the event will feature specialized forums and workshops tailored to professionals working with specific technologies and materials. The Furniture Trend Zone, for example, will present the latest in furniture design, while the Parquet Zone will highlight innovations in flooring. These spaces provide opportunities for professionals to discover new products, learn from experts, and network with peers.
DREMA 2025 is more than just a trade fair – it is a crucial meeting point for the woodworking and furniture industries in Central and Eastern Europe. Amidst the current economic challenges, it offers a platform for businesses to explore solutions that not only address immediate concerns but also position them for long-term success. By embracing automation, robotisation, and sustainable production methods, companies can navigate these difficult times and secure their place in the competitive global market.
