Assago – The general assembly approved the exhibition calendar for 2013, including all the events that will be sponsored by Eumabois, the European federation of woodworking technology, tools and accessories manufacturers.

Exhibitions are one of the key topics on the federation’s agenda. Constantly committed to limiting the proliferation of events that only cause a waste of resources for companies, the organization selects and supports exhibitions that guarantee specific standards to exhibitors and visitors, representing an effective and tangible reference in the respective world region.

This year, two new exhibitions joined the network of Eumabois, which gathers 14 national associations including over 800 European manufacturers. So, welcome to Tekhnodrev Siberia, scheduled next 10 to 13 September in Krasnoyarsk (Russia).

“This is one of very few exceptions to our rule of supporting one and only one exhibition in each country”, said Franz-Josef Buetfering, president of Eumabois. “We took into consideration the huge extension of “Great Russia” and the long distance between Moscow, the second exhibition we are supporting this year. This is a region with huge raw material resources, where everything related to primary processing is very interesting. Furthermore, many companies are emerging that add value to these natural resources with subsequent operations”.

“The decision to include Woodworking (Minsk, Belarus, 1-4 October, editor’s note) in our network came after two years of contacts; in this period, we ascertained the value of this "small" exhibition in a market that is definitely not big, nevertheless has all it takes to offer significant business opportunities to European wood technology”, Buetfering concluded.
