Suppliers are confident: LIGNA 27 is 80% booked

Hannover, Germany. More than a year before LIGNA 2027, a world trade fair for the woodworking and wood processing industry is reporting an excellent booking situation. More than 80 percent of the exhibition space has already been allocated, and all leading companies in the sector have registered their participation across all exhibition areas of LIGNA – despite the still highly strained global economic climate. 

“The clear and overall commitment from the companies shows that LIGNA remains the premier platform for international market players,” says Stephanie Wagner, Head of LIGNA at Deutsche Messe AG. “Fifteen months ahead of LIGNA 2027, more than 80 percent of the exhibition space relative to the final total of LIGNA 2025 is already booked. Two thirds of exhibitors have already registered for the trade fair,” Wagner adds. (LIGNA 2025: 113,318 square metres net exhibition space and 1,425 exhibitors).

Among the industry leaders are major players such as Homag, Weinig, Biesse, SCM, Leitz, Leuco, Dieffenbacher, Siempelkamp, Sennebogen, Liebherr, Barberan, Cefla, Robert Bürkle, Ledinek, Linck, Microtec, Festool, Mafell, Hundegger, and Felder.

Stephanie Wagner reiterates: "The impressive registration numbers also highlight how important LIGNA’s objectives currently are for the companies: whether technological advancements, new market requirements or the need for international exchange at decision-maker level – exhibitors view LIGNA as a stable anchor point at a time when numerous markets are under simultaneous pressure.”

LIGNA 27 will next take plane 10–14 May 2027 at Exhibition Grounds, Hannover, Germany.
