SIBO IS BACK!

 

CCI Canada Inc., the owner of the Toronto Woodworking Machinery & Supply Conference and Expo (WMS), proudly relaunches Salon Industriel du Bois Ouvré (SIBO) at the Centrexpo Cogeco in Drummondville.

 

SIBO, historically the most important event for Quebec’s secondary wood products industry, will provide an exclusive opportunity for manufacturers and distributors of woodworking machinery, tooling, software, cabinet hardware, lumber and board products, and much more to connect with manufacturers representing Quebec’s $8.2 billion wood products economy.

 

The three-day event, to be held October 27-29, 2022, will present the largest gathering place for Quebec woodworking professionals to connect with each other and with key manufacturers and suppliers of equipment, computer software, hardware, raw materials, and more. Woodworkers will find innovative products and solutions to help them increase productivity, improve quality, expand into new markets and grow their profits.
