Leitz, the global leader in woodworking solutions, marked a milestone in 2026 with a remarkable presence at Holz-Handwerk and FENSTERBAU FRONTALE in Nuremberg. This year was special as it coincided with the company’s 150th anniversary. Their exhibition stand was a testament to their rich history and a look into the future of woodworking technology, showcasing how innovation and tradition are seamlessly integrated into their solutions.
Under the banner “We shape the future,” Leitz captivated attendees with a display that embodied both their heritage and their forward-thinking approach to the industry. The stand was not just a look back at their past accomplishments, but a clear promise of performance and progress for their customers. As the world market leader, Leitz emphasized that their dedication to quality, reliability, and customer partnership has been unwavering throughout the years.
During the exhibition, visitors had the opportunity to see firsthand how Leitz’s decades of experience combine with cutting-edge technology to create customer-centric solutions. “Our presence at Holz-Handwerk is not just about celebrating our history, but about looking ahead,” said a representative from Leitz. “We have always aimed to provide our customers with dependable tools, processes, and performance that they can rely on for the long term.”
A standout moment during the trade fair was the world premiere of Leitz’s “wow product” for the 150th anniversary: the FineCut circular sawblade. This innovative tool quickly became the centerpiece of the exhibition and generated considerable interest among professionals. The FineCut sawblade offers a significant advancement in cutting technology by enabling the highest quality cuts without the need for scoring blades, offering clear benefits in time, cost, and overall quality. This innovation underscores Leitz’s continued commitment to transforming technological precision into practical customer advantages.
Leitz’s extensive portfolio, presented at the event, covered a wide range of applications, from timber system construction and window manufacturing to furniture production and CNC machining. The company also showcased their digital solutions, such as the LeitzXPert app and ETML (a standardized language for communication between tools and machines). These solutions highlight Leitz’s holistic approach to supporting customers in optimizing their processes and enhancing efficiency.
Holz-Handwerk 2026 was also a major success in terms of visitor engagement. With 75,000 trade visitors from 117 countries, the event provided Leitz with a unique opportunity for direct interaction with customers. This personal exchange is at the heart of Leitz’s business strategy, and the company’s exhibition stand was designed to encourage open, collaborative discussions. “Our goal is always to maintain strong relationships with existing customers, while also building new connections and co-developing solutions,” added the representative.
The exhibition stand itself was a visual and craftsmanship highlight. Display tables and an anniversary sculpture, both designed and built in-house using Leitz tools, drew attention and served as tangible representations of the company’s craftsmanship. The open design of the stand also symbolized Leitz’s commitment to transparency and customer proximity.
Leitz’s conclusion from this year’s event is overwhelmingly positive. The high visitor attendance, strong interest, and excellent feedback confirm that the company is on the right path. As they look back on their 150-year legacy and forward to the next phase, Leitz is already anticipating the next Holz-Handwerk in 2028. The company’s consistent focus on innovation, quality, and customer partnerships is sure to keep them at the forefront of the woodworking industry for many more years to come.
