Jakarta is set to become the heart of Southeast Asia’s woodworking and furniture manufacturing sector with an exceptional collaboration that brings together three major international exhibitions: interzum jakarta, International Hardware Fair (IHF) Indonesia, and IFMAC & WOODMAC. From September 24–27, 2025, the city will host this unique event at JIExpo Kemayoran, uniting all parts of the value chain in one place. This unprecedented 3-in-1 format offers industry players direct access to raw materials, components, production tools, and cutting-edge design solutions with just one ticket.
Indonesia’s strategic positioning in Southeast Asia makes it a central player in the global manufacturing industry. As the first Southeast Asian city to host such a large-scale exhibition, Jakarta solidifies its role as a pivotal hub for cross-sector collaboration and technological advancement. The exhibition aims to drive the sustainable growth of Indonesia’s manufacturing sector and further enhance its competitive position within the ASEAN region.
Global Collaboration and Innovation at One Venue
This event is a game-changer for those in the woodworking and furniture industries. By combining interzum jakarta, IHF Indonesia, and IFMAC & WOODMAC into a unified experience, Jakarta is offering an unmatched opportunity to explore the latest in manufacturing technologies, materials, and production solutions from both global and local leaders. Attendees will benefit from networking opportunities, technological exchange, and collaborative projects aimed at accelerating the sector’s growth and innovation.
Interzum jakarta, now part of the renowned interzum brand family, has already established itself as the leading exhibition for furniture production and interior design in Southeast Asia. With this year’s exhibition, the event expands its focus to encompass a wider range of innovative materials, design solutions, and sustainable manufacturing technologies, helping local and international businesses stay ahead in an increasingly competitive market.
Meanwhile, IHF Indonesia brings the best of the hardware industry to the exhibition, offering solutions for tools, engineering equipment, woodworking machinery, and security systems. This addition strengthens Jakarta’s position as a vital regional player in the global supply chain, facilitating connections between manufacturers, suppliers, and distributors.
A Comprehensive Showcase of Advanced Technology and Industry Trends
The collaboration between IFMAC and WOODMAC also adds significant value to the event, focusing on the latest in woodworking machinery, production efficiency, and digitalization. As the industry shifts towards automation and smarter manufacturing processes, this exhibition offers a critical platform for industry professionals to gain insights into innovations that will shape the future of furniture and woodworking production.
IFMAC’s focus on furniture components and materials and WOODMAC’s concentration on woodworking machinery make these two exhibitions essential for anyone looking to enhance their production capabilities and stay on top of emerging industry trends. Both events provide access to the latest machinery, software, and technology, helping businesses improve efficiency and precision.
Engaging Programs for Networking and Learning
The event is more than just an exhibition—it’s a comprehensive industry experience. Visitors will have the opportunity to participate in numerous engaging programs, such as the Hosted Buyer Program, business matching sessions, DIY workshops, and expert talks. The Mobile Space Interior showcase addresses the growing need for adaptable, flexible interior solutions in urban environments, which is especially relevant to cities like Jakarta, where space is limited.
A major highlight is the Re:Create Stage, where key opinion leaders, exhibitors, and industry associations will share insights on design, innovation, and market shifts. The Material Library, curated by Playo, will feature a selection of new materials and finishes, offering both tactile and visual perspectives on upcoming trends. These programs foster collaboration, promote industry knowledge exchange, and inspire creativity among participants.
Support from Leading Industry Associations
The event’s success is further bolstered by the support of top industry associations, such as ISWA (Indonesian Sawmill and Woodworking Association), ASMINDO (Indonesian Furniture and Craft Industry Association), and HDII (Indonesian Society of Interior Designers). These partnerships underline the event’s importance and the collaborative spirit driving the woodworking and furniture sectors in Indonesia and Southeast Asia.
A Strategic Platform for Sustainable Growth
According to Stephanie Sim, Regional Division Director at Koelnmesse, the event’s 3-in-1 format offers unmatched value for all participants. “With strong support from global players, industry associations, and curated programs such as Re:Create Stage, Material Library, and Business Matching, this event will accelerate cross-sector collaboration and bring real value to all participants.”
Etty Anggraeini, Director of PT Amara Pameran International, adds, “Integrating these exhibitions creates a comprehensive ecosystem that supports connection and growth across the entire value chain. This platform is designed to spark innovation, foster collaboration, and drive the continued progress of the woodworking and furniture industries.”
Jakarta: Southeast Asia’s Manufacturing Powerhouse
The collaborative exhibition of interzum jakarta, IHF Indonesia, and IFMAC & WOODMAC 2025 represents a landmark moment in the evolution of Southeast Asia’s manufacturing sector. By providing a space for industry professionals to exchange ideas, discover innovations, and form meaningful business connections, this event accelerates Indonesia’s rise as a leader in the global manufacturing arena.
As the woodworking and furniture industries evolve toward greater sustainability and digitalization, Jakarta stands at the forefront of this transformation. The upcoming exhibition is not just a showcase—it is a strategic platform for collaboration, growth, and sustainable development in the region. With the continued support of industry leaders and key stakeholders, Indonesia is primed to shape the future of global manufacturing for years to come.
