AWISA 2016 in Melbourne will show the leading edge of technology with the latest machinery, related equipment, hardware, software and other products for woodworking and associated industries.
Taking place from 6–9 July, the show will again also be a barometer of the health of the industry and a vital interface between suppliers and customers. The show is a sell-out and the largest ever presented by the Australian Woodworking Industry Suppliers Association.
Chairman of AWISA, Brett Ambrose said that across the board, industry participants generally acknowledge that the AWISA exhibition cannot be missed. ‘AWISA presents the best opportunity in Australasia to see the most comprehensive range of products that can assist businesses to operate more efficiently and be more profitable’
‘The show presents an outstanding opportunity to see the broadest spectrum of leading brands and suppliers all under the same roof.’
He said Melbourne will be an exciting venue for the AWISA show. ‘It is a key manufacturing state and the show will present a chance to see the latest technology, trends and products only just recently on display in Europe.’
‘AWISA is a once every two year chance for practitioners in the trade from throughout Australia and New Zealand to catch up with colleagues and check out the state-of-play, and gauge the current and likely future business prospects in front of the industry,’ said Mr Ambrose.
Experience from the 2014 AWISA show in Brisbane demonstrates that there is no doubt that AWISA attracts the right people, with about 60 per cent of attendees being owners, directors, general managers or production/manufacturing managers.
Mr Ambrose added that in the past attendance had been strong from throughout Australia and New Zealand. Many exhibitors from the last AWISA show commented on the high numbers of visitors from all states and from overseas. ‘We are anticipating that visitor numbers in Melbourne will be particularly strong.’
‘AWISA is the largest woodworking exhibition in the southern hemisphere and as such is a great source of help, information and inspiration. As chairman, and on behalf of the board of AWISA, I would like to take this opportunity to welcome industry people to take advantage of this truly great event and attend the Melbourne show.’
As one of the largest exhibitions of any kind in Australia, AWISA has become an internationally renowned success. Day-to-day business commitments frequently make it difficult to remain aware of how and why industries are changing so the Melbourne show will offer the chance to gather information and to stay in touch with important industry developments.
