Kronospan’s annual Hausmesse has once again brought together professionals from across Europe, reinforcing its position as a significant industry gathering for the construction, furniture and interior design sectors. Hosted at the Kronospan Design Center in Szczecinek, the event served as a platform for showcasing the latest developments in wood-based materials, decorative solutions, sustainability initiatives and advanced production technologies.
Over the years, Hausmesse has evolved beyond a traditional corporate exhibition. It now functions as a key meeting point for manufacturers, suppliers, architects, designers and industry stakeholders. The event creates opportunities for collaboration, knowledge exchange and market insight. Participants were able to explore emerging trends while gaining a deeper understanding of future industry requirements.
The programme combined business discussions with technical presentations, product demonstrations and networking opportunities. Dedicated workshops also enabled visitors to engage directly with industry experts. New ideas were exchanged throughout the event. Strong interest was generated among professionals seeking practical solutions for changing market demands.
The significance of the Polish edition extends beyond the exhibition itself. Poland remains one of Europe’s leading centres for wood-based manufacturing and continues to play a vital role in supplying global furniture producers. The country has developed a strong industrial ecosystem that supports every stage of the value chain, from forestry and wood processing to logistics, retail and product design.
For Kronospan, Poland represents the company’s largest operational base worldwide. The business operates seven manufacturing facilities, three distribution centres and a strategically positioned sea terminal. This extensive network supports efficient movement of materials and finished products across European markets.
Transport integration remains a major advantage. Rail, road and sea connections work together to support large-scale production and dependable supply operations. Such infrastructure enables flexibility and responsiveness in a competitive market environment. Consistent stock availability can therefore be maintained across multiple regions.
Hausmesse also highlighted the strengths of Poland’s broader manufacturing landscape. Regional business networks contribute to market coverage and operational efficiency. They support both seasonal demand fluctuations and long-term expansion opportunities. These advantages continue to strengthen Poland’s position within the European furniture market.
Product innovation was a major focus throughout the event. A wide range of construction and interior materials was presented to visitors. These developments demonstrated both performance and versatility across commercial and residential applications.
Among the featured products were faced black MDF wall panels, unicolour woodgrain solutions and developments within the Rocko Tiles range. Structural lumber products measuring up to 13.5 metres in length attracted considerable attention from construction professionals. P6 particleboard solutions and pellet products were also displayed, highlighting the diversity of applications within the sector.
Several products were designed to address changing customer requirements. Others focused on expanding design possibilities. The variety on display reflected growing demand for materials that combine durability, functionality and visual appeal.
Particular interest was directed towards the eco-focused Black Line range. One of the highlights was a ready-made outdoor table manufactured from a compact multipurpose board. The product demonstrated the material’s adaptability across furniture applications. Its design flexibility was also showcased through finished product examples presented during the exhibition.
Sustainability remained a central theme throughout the event. Industry discussions increasingly focused on environmental performance, resource efficiency and regulatory compliance. As manufacturers across Europe adapt to evolving sustainability expectations, demand for responsible material solutions continues to rise.
Kronospan presented its ongoing commitment to circular economy principles through recycling initiatives and responsible resource management strategies. Environmental considerations are being integrated across production processes. Significant attention is being given to material recovery and efficient resource utilisation. These measures support broader industry efforts to reduce environmental impact while maintaining competitiveness.
The importance of sustainable manufacturing is expected to increase further in the coming years. Furniture producers are actively seeking solutions that align with environmental targets and emerging regulations. As a result, innovation in recycling and resource management is becoming an increasingly important area of investment.
The 2026 edition of Hausmesse demonstrated the resilience and adaptability of Europe’s furniture and interior design industries. Innovation was showcased across multiple product categories. Strategic partnerships were strengthened. Valuable industry knowledge was shared.
With Poland positioned at the centre of its global operations, Kronospan continues to support the development of Europe’s manufacturing sector. The company’s integrated production network, logistics capabilities and focus on innovation contribute to the competitiveness of the regional furniture industry.
As market demands continue to evolve, events such as Hausmesse provide an important platform for collaboration and future planning. The gathering in Szczecinek highlighted how innovation, sustainability and operational excellence are shaping the next phase of growth for Europe’s wood-based manufacturing industry.
