On November 19, the 16th International Exhibition on Machinery and Equipment for the Wood Processing Industry in Vietnam (VietnamWood 2025) and the International Exhibition on Furniture, Hardware and Tools for the Wood Industry (FURNITEC 2025) were held at the Saigon Exhibition and Convention Center (SECC), attracting more than 320 domestic and foreign units and enterprises to participate.

This year's exhibition attracted many wood industry businesses to participate with many new products.

With an exhibition area of ​​13,500m², VietnamWood 2025 brings together more than 320 exhibitors, nearly 800 booths from 27 countries and territories such as Germany, Italy, Japan, the United States, South Korea, Sweden, Taiwan, Singapore, Australia, Canada and Vietnam. The large participation of international enterprises shows the increasing attractiveness of the Vietnamese wood market in the global supply chain.

At the exhibition, a series of new generation machines and solutions were introduced, from cutting machines, planers, high-speed saws to integrated CNC lines, automatic drilling and milling systems, surface optimization solutions and energy-saving production systems. Major brands such as Kuang Yung Machinery, Leadermac, Anderson, HOMAG, Barberán or Innovator Machinery bring technologies that help optimize productivity, improve precision and reduce emissions in production.

At the same time, businesses such as Egger, Blum, American Hardwood or Grass also display eco-certified materials and accessories, responding to the trend of sustainable design, an increasingly tightened factor in demanding markets such as the US, EU or Japan.

Delegates visit booths after the opening ceremony on November 19.

A representative of the VietnamWood 2025 organizing committee said that the exhibition is not only a place to introduce technology but also an important "trading station" of the regional wood industry. Here, Vietnamese enterprises are fully connected, meeting with machinery and material suppliers, importers and international retail chains. In addition, VietnamWood 2025 continues to affirm its position as the leading exhibition in Vietnam in the field of wood processing, acting as a bridge between world technology and domestic enterprises. Through the event, many enterprises have a better understanding of the development orientation of the Vietnamese wood industry in the journey of green transformation, modernization and deep integration into the global value chain.

VietnamWood 2025 is designed as a complete ecosystem for the wood processing industry, including exhibition space, real-life machine demonstration area, specialized seminars and business networking activities. In addition, the exhibition also has many discussions focusing on hot topics of the industry such as the transition from OEM to ODM, compliance with European EUDR and CE regulations, mass timber construction technology, AI - data applications in smart manufacturing or the journey towards Net Zero.

In addition to commercial activities, the NEXTGEN area continues to be a highlight in creating a playground for students, startups and young talents in the industry. This activity aims to promote creativity, inspire future generations and increase the connection between training, research and business needs.

Organizing committee representatives cut the ribbon to open on November 19.

From a business perspective, Mr. Tran Minh Phuc, Director of Minh Phuc Furniture Manufacturing Company, said that the VietnamWood exhibition is an opportunity for Vietnamese businesses to access global technology more quickly. We are particularly interested in automated production lines and AI-integrated quality control solutions. In the context of export markets requiring increasingly high standards, investing in technology is the key to helping businesses increase competitiveness and meet new regulations such as EUDR.

The exhibition runs from now until November 22. The exhibition is co-organized by Vinexad Trade Fair and Advertising Joint Stock Company (VINEXAD), Yorkers Exhibition Service Vietnam and the Handicraft and Wood Industry Association of Ho Chi Minh City (HAWA). The exhibition continues to receive support from the NürnbergMesse Group as a strategic partner, along with the European Woodworking Machinery Manufacturers' Federation.
