Xylexpo 2018

As of April 2018 over 450 companies will be exhibiting within a 35,000 sq. meter area!

The 2018 26th editon of Xylexpo will see the celebration of its 50th anniversary as the show started in Milan back in 1968. This anniversary is a major milestone that will be properly celebrated on the occasion of the show. The exhibition will span five days as the 2016 edition allowed the leading brands of woodworking technology to achieve record levels of sale orders.
 
“We have all got down to work for the next edition with fresh enthusiasm”, said Lorenzo Primultini, president of the exhibition and Acimall, the association of Italian manufacturers directly involved in the organization of Xylexpo. “Our recent story demonstrates that Xylexpo has a clear role and position in the international exhibition calendar. It is the top showcase for panel processing technology, this is an undisputable vocation that drives us, as organizers, to pay utmost attention to all territories where woodworking technology is applied. To illustrate the different expressions of our industry, we are developing a few significant initiatives”.
 
The industry is experiencing a sort of “second youth”, with several regions around the world going back to economic situations similar to the pre-crisis period. “We are confident that Xylexpo’s fiftieth anniversary will be combined with an excellent seasons for the global markets”, added Dario Corbetta, director of Xylexpo. “Current figures indicate a positive trend of the Italian market, which is not only an industry leader offering world-class technology, but also a “consumption market” that draws the attention of all global vendors”.
 
“The widespread return to pre-crisis order and revenue levels – Corbetta continued – will be a powerful driver for exhibitors, who will bring their best technology to Milan to match the demand of a more and more dynamic global market. This is an opportunity to show your skills and capacity in one of the most mature and stimulating user markets, where you can do “good business”, as well as meet and discuss with many important and popular brands from all over the world. We are not talking only about design, but also high-quality mass production for the world’s giants of furniture retail and trade".
 
Xylexpo offers a complete and comprehensive panorama of all proposals for each phase of the wood processing and of its derivates. A highly innovative lay-out which allows to integrate technology and product, depending on the type of processing and meet the needs of the exhibitor and the visitor. The exhibition center in Rho allows Xylexpo to offer a functional exhibition grid, thanks to the subdivision by sector designed to create real “thematic itineraries”. The Xylexpo 2018 will feature the following major exhibition halls:
