The eagerly awaited IFMAC WOODMAC 2025 expo will be held in Halls B3 & C3 of the Jakarta International Expo (JIExpo) Kemayoran from September 24–27, 2025. This prestigious event is more than simply a trade fair; it’s a vibrant platform created to highlight the newest developments in technology, cutting-edge equipment, contemporary materials, and innovative designs that are influencing the direction of the sector.
The central theme for this year’s exhibition, “Fostering Industrial Collaboration for the Transformation of Furniture and Woodworking in Indonesia,” underscores its crucial role in enhancing Indonesia’s global competitiveness. By bringing together key players and stakeholders, the event aims to catalyze strategic partnerships and drive the industry forward, ensuring Indonesia remains a formidable force on the global stage.
A 3-in-1 exhibition
This year marks a significant evolution for IFMAC WOODMAC, which will be presented as a comprehensive 3-in-1 exhibition. This expanded format is the result of a strategic collaboration with two other prestigious international trade shows:
interzum Jakarta: An international exhibition dedicated to furniture production and interior design.

This synergistic collaboration creates a holistic ecosystem that encompasses the entire furniture and woodworking supply chain. Attendees can explore everything from raw materials and components to state-of-the-art machinery, advanced hardware, and innovative design solutions—all within one expansive location. The combined event will occupy six halls at JIExpo, covering an impressive area of over 17,000 square meters, making it an unprecedented assembly of industry resources and expertise.
A magnet for the industry: Global participation and innovation
The exhibition is set to attract a formidable lineup of exhibitors. More than 350 international and local companies from 20 different countries will be on hand to showcase their latest innovations. This includes everything from high-tech woodworking machinery and sustainable materials to smart production solutions designed to optimise efficiency and output. The international representation highlights the event’s global appeal and its role as a key gateway to the Southeast Asian market.
With over 15,000 visitors projected to attend, the event is a major draw for a diverse audience. Attendees will include a wide range of industry professionals, including business owners, purchasing managers, designers, and strategic decision-makers. This diverse mix of visitors ensures a rich environment for networking and business development, with every participant having the opportunity to forge valuable connections.

IFMAC WOODMAC 2025 is structured to be more than just a display of products and technologies. It’s a comprehensive platform for networking, collaboration, and knowledge exchange. In addition to the extensive exhibition, the event will feature a series of industry seminars and workshops.

These educational components provide invaluable insights and practical knowledge, empowering attendees to stay ahead of the curve. The seminars offer a unique opportunity to learn from industry experts, discuss challenges, and discover new business opportunities. By integrating these educational and networking events, IFMAC WOODMAC fosters a community of innovation and progress, helping to shape the future direction of the industry.
