MANHEIM, Pa. — Wood Pro Expo Lancaster (WPEL) presents an unparalleled opportunity for any company looking to significantly expand its reach and sales within the thriving Northeast and Mid-Atlantic wood products markets.

Returning to Spooky Nook Sports October 23-24, WPEL is the only professional woodworking expo and conference of its kind in the region, offering a direct pipeline to qualified buyers and tangible business growth.

WPEL is a dedicated professional event designed to connect sellers with serious buyers. Hundreds of qualified woodworking professionals will be on the show floor, actively seeking leading-edge technology, the latest materials, and essential supplies to improve and grow their businesses.

According to the post-show survey of last year’s show, 95.0% of attendees play a role in the purchase process, with 83.5% holding the power of final decision-making.

In an increasingly digital world, the power of face-to-face interaction remains priceless. Wood Pro Expo Lancaster offers the ideal environment to foster new relationships and gain new business. A handshake and the ability to look buyers in the eyes can seal a deal in a way no email or phone call ever could. Past exhibitors consistently return year after year, a testament to the show's effectiveness in capturing attention and interest from the wood manufacturing industry.

"Our expo floor is coming together nicely," said Lewis Goldman, managing partner of WPEL. "We continue to benefit from an excellent exhibitor return rate, plus we have many first-time exhibitors. We believe that the industry, both sellers and buyers, understand this is an important event for professionals, not a consumer show."

Strategically located in the heart of "Hardwoods Country," WPEL attracts a diversified audience of professional owners and managers representing small, medium, and large woodworking businesses. This regional focus ensures highly targeted exposure that translates directly into valuable leads and sales.

The WPEL attendee base is comprised of professionals manufacturing a diverse range of products, with residential and commercial cabinets leading at 53.2%, followed by architectural woodwork at 12.1%, commercial and institutional furniture at 11.7% and custom woodwork at 10.9%. This broad spectrum of attendees ensures a relevant audience for a wide array of woodworking machinery, tools, and materials.

Wood Pro Expo Lancaster provides dedicated avenues to introduce products and innovations to an attentive audience including:

• Running Machine Pavilion: Limited to six exhibitors of CNC machines, edgebanders, and other large woodworking equipment, this pavilion offers participating companies two exclusive demonstration times each day. These scheduled demonstrations are prominently promoted in Woodworking Network newsletters and the show program, ensuring maximum visibility.
• Classic Machine Pavilion: Dedicated to showcasing standard production floor equipment, this pavilion is already sold out.
  Wood Pro Expo Lancaster 2025 will build on the momentum of last year’s show, which saw a 10 percent increase in attendance despite the International Woodworking Fair being held just two months prior. This demonstrates the event's unique draw and its importance to the regional woodworking community. 

"Wood Pro Expo Lancaster is the go-to event for woodworkers in what truly is Hardwoods Country," Goldman added. "We’re excited to once again bring together the industry’s top brands and experts to provide attendees with the knowledge and tools they need to succeed.”
