Efficient technology on show at WoodMac in China

WoodMac China 2009, the largest and longest running woodworking technology trade event in China, has recorded a 28% growth in area according to the organizers. Scheduled for 17-20 February 2009, WoodMac China and associated events FurniTek China (for hardware) and WoodBuild China (for lumber and wood accessories) will be the largest show in the event’s 10-year history.
“At a time of worldwide economic crisis it is sobering to reveal an exhibition that has shown an increase in demand,” said Brendan Jennings, general manager of the organizers China International Exhibitions (CIE). WoodMac China is organised in partnership with CIE of Shanghai, DMA, Germany organisers of Ligna+ the world’s largest woodworking technology fair and China National Forestry Machinery Association.
“In the current economic climate Chinese furniture and wood product manufacturers must upgrade to the most efficient technology available to produce more for less and with a higher quality,” Jennings said.
This has created an increased demand for labour saving, energy saving and material saving … all terms of ‘efficiency technology’ that will dominate the exhibits.
“WoodMac China will be the first woodworking technology show in China since the world economic crisis hit and international and Chinese manufacturers of the latest efficiency technology are eager to show their customers how that can save them money,” Jennings said.
