Wood Taiwan 2023 highlights sustainability

The Taiwan International Woodworking Machinery Show (Wood Taiwan) is back in action after a five-year hiatus. The show will take place from April the 20th to the 23rd, 2023, at the Taipei Nangang Exhibition Center Hall 1, showcasing an extensive range of products from the wood industry's upstream, midstream, and downstream sector including wood processing equipment, components, hand tools, DIY woodworking, laser engraving, furniture hardware, software services, and wooden furniture.

As the fourth-largest global exporter of woodworking machinery, Taiwan has a solid and loyal customer base. International buyers who have not visited Taiwan in the past few years are showing an increased interest in attending the event. Buyers from Vietnam, Thailand,

Japan, Indonesia, and Malaysia have already confirmed their attendance for the April event.

Wood Taiwan serves as a crucial platform for Taiwan's wood processing industry, providing exhibitors with an opportunity to showcase their products and network with industry professionals. With a strong commitment to sustainability, Wood Taiwan exhibitors are demonstrating their dedication to creating a greener future through their innovative solutions.

Anderson, the largest exhibitor at this year's Wood Taiwan, will present its Intelligent Board Cutting Production Line, which is committed to reducing resource waste while providing efficient, low-error, high-accuracy, and user-friendly management solutions for furniture system cabinet panel manufacturers.

Cheng Kuang’s breakthrough finger joint machine allows the use of waste materials for regeneration. The process, when combined with laminating machines, produces large pieces of board material, significantly increasing the utilisation of wood.

Another standout exhibitor, Leadermac, is a globally renowned 4-side moulder manufacturer that has taken concrete steps towards implementing green energy and putting it into practical ESG action.

Wood Taiwan 2023 will feature top indicator manufacturers like Champ Fond, Innovator, Kuang Yung, Jun Shiau, Technik, Oav, Furnimate, Carpenter, Xiang Jing, Gau Jing, Lih Woei, Siemens, and Homag, showcasing their latest R&D equipment. This year, Wood

Taiwan also includes new areas like Power Tools for Homemade DIY Woodworking, Hardware Accessories and Plates, and Wood for Mood, with exhibitors like Taiwan Craft Research and Development Institute, Looben, Mushulin, DongShan Design, and

Funwood. By incorporating surrounding DIY tools and wood products, Wood Taiwan adds a human touch to the machinery exhibition.

TAITRA and TWMA, the organizers, will be launching various activities during the event, such as guided tours, a Timber Construction Sustainability Forum, seminars on smart manufacturing and sustainability, Net Zero Consultation, and Wood Insight DIY. Visitors will also receive a welcome gift of a Taipei Biz tour making their trip to the exhibition more enjoyable. Pre-register now and don’t miss out. ❚
