MISSISAUGA, Ontario – The Woodworking Machinery & Supply Conference & Expo is back and on track to resume its role as the national event for the Canadian woodworking industry.

The show, which was last held in 2019 due to the Covid-19 pandemic, is scheduled to take place Nov. 2-4 at the International Centre. 

Eight months until showtime, Hall 1 -- home to major supply companies including Blum Canada, Richelieu, Tafisa, Salice, Upper Canada, Canmade, and Marathon Hardware -- is nearly sold out. On the equipment side, Normand, Castaly, Venjakob and Superfici are just some of the companies anchoring Hall 3. View current floor plan.

“Booth sales have been accelerating with the signing of returning and new exhibitors,” said Harry Urban, show manager. “Since the WMS was last staged in 2019, attendees can expect to see loads of innovations and new technology on display in Canada for the first time."
