From May 26-30, 2025, LIGNA in Hannover will set the stage for the next revolution in sustainable construction—with engineered wood at its core. With industry giants like Minda, Weinig, Grenzebach, Schiele, Dieffenbacher, Reichenbacher Hamuel, and Globe Machine Manufacturing in attendance, the event will highlight cutting-edge solutions shaping the future of wood-based construction.
Engineered wood—stronger, lighter, and more sustainable than concrete or steel—is fast becoming the go-to material for urban development, modular construction, and eco-friendly interiors. With CO₂-binding properties and streamlined prefabrication processes, engineered wood reduces waste, cuts emissions, and enhances efficiency—all critical factors for the future of construction.
Smart Machinery to Drive the Timber Revolution
At LIGNA 2025, the latest automated production systems, robotic processing units, and AI-driven manufacturing solutions will be on full display. Visitors can explore next-generation joinery machines, CLT production lines, wood-finishing technologies, and robotic automation solutions, all designed to push the limits of what’s possible with timber.
“We will showcase the full spectrum of pioneering solutions that unlock the potential of solid wood and wood-based materials,” says Stephanie Wagner, Head of LIGNA at Deutsche Messe. From CNC hybrid machining to 3D printing applications for engineered wood, exhibitors will demonstrate innovations designed to revolutionize wood processing and modular construction.
