Although LIGNA 2025 wraps up by setting new standards for sustainable woodworking but still we are not getting over from the hang over of the show yet, and LIGNA itself is not of course! Now, they are happy to take the visitors virtually to the outdoor area and their pavilions 33 & 35 where LIGNA25 recap focuses on the Forestry Industry.

A total of 90 exhibitors showcased their latest innovations – from powerful large-scale forestry machinery to cutting-edge sawmill technology, as well as solutions for logistics, transport, and technologies for the efficient use of raw timber in construction and energy generation.
Key highlights included:
LIGNA 2025 focused on digitisation, sustainability, and the circular economy, and the woodworking fair delivered in spades throughout its five-day run. In honour of its 50th anniversary, this year’s LIGNA brought together 1,433 exhibitors from 49 countries to showcase the newest technology for the primary and secondary wood products industries. These companies included those that manufacture millwork, furniture, cabinets, and other products based on wood and panels.
The biennial event, which was co-organised by the VDMA Woodworking Machinery Association and Deutsche Messe AG, took place at the Hannover, Germany, fairgrounds from May 26 to 30. “LIGNA has impressively reaffirmed its unique position as the world’s leading trade fair for the industry. Around 78,000 visitors from 156 countries came to Hanover, putting us on par with the previous event in 2023. Given the circumstances, that is a strong result,” commented Dr. Jochen Köckler, CEO at Deutsche Messe AG.
From forestry and sawmilling to solid wood and panel processing for custom and high-production, exhibitors showcased solutions for the full value chain across 1.23 million square feet (114,078 square meters) of exhibit space. They also demonstrated how current challenges can be addressed and transformed into opportunities. Digitalisation, automation, artificial intelligence, smart production, climate-friendly and sustainable building using wood and wood-based components, and the prudent, forward-thinking use of wood as a resource were all highlighted.
