FIERA MILANO-RHO, Italy — Xylexpo, the biennial international exhibition dedicated to technology for the wood and furniture industries, is scheduled at FieraMilano-Rho next June 9 to 12, 2026. For this first time, this event is opening up new scenarios with Composites Future, the expo-conference for composite materials.

For the first time, the international biennial exhibition of technology for the wood and furniture industries – held concurrently with Plast, the exhibition of machinery and equipment for the plastic and rubber industry, from June 9 to 12, 2026 – will also involve the world of composite materials, a domain where woodworking machinery have been at home for some time now. 

Composites Future is entirely dedicated to composite materials. During the exhibition, the Composites Academy will offer a free round of seminars about technologies, applications and sustainability, complemented by a Demo Area with practical demonstrations spanning the entire supply chain.

Also in this case, there will be a program with daily focus groups dedicated to:

  • Technologies for composite materials (10 June).
  • Applications of composite materials in automotive, marine, construction and aerospace. (11 June).
  • Sustainability and recycling technologies (12 June).

It will be a real opportunity to see the future direction of an industry increasingly focused on innovation, efficiency and multi-materiality.
