HOLZ-HANDWERK 2026 under starter’s orders:
Secure your stand now!

HOLZ-HANDWERK, a leading trade fair for machinery, tools, materials and system solutions for the woodworking trade, is now welcoming registrations for the next event in 2026.

As of now, companies can book a stand and benefit from early bird rates until 31st March 2025. In 2024, the trade fair pairing welcomed around 75,000 visitors who discussed the latest trends in woodworking and wood processing and window, door and facade construction with the 973 exhibitors at the venue.

Under the slogan “Experience. Discover. Do.”, the fair in Nuremberg will again become the key gathering for joiners, carpenters and cabinetmakers from all over Europe from 24th to 27th March 2026. Live demonstrations and interactive formats allow visitors to experience innovations first-hand and discover new trends.

“We maintain close contact with our customers and their strong commitment to HOLZ-HANDWERK is evident in our personal conversations with them. Especially in challenging times, it is important to be visible and fly the flag for the industry. HOLZ-HANDWERK is more than just a trade fair; it’s a vibrant platform that is actively helping to shape the future of the woodworking trade,” explains Stefan Dittrich, director for HOLZ-HANDWERK.

“We don’t just want to show what is possible but also inject momentum into the industry. We deliver an event that is authentic, practice-driven, and packed with experiences.”

FENSTERBAU FRONTALE, the world’s leading trade fair for windows, doors and facades, takes place alongside HOLZ-HAND­WERK and has become established as an additional source of inspiration for the woodworking industry.

One ticket provides access to both trade fairs — an added benefit that makes a visit to the event even more attractive. “The FENSTERBAU FRONTALE team tells us that registration has got off to a good start involving many of the key players. This increases the anticipation of our trade fair pairing even more!” Dittrich adds.

Wide-ranging programme and fresh impetus
In 2026, the focus will again be on the hands-on nature of the event. HOLZ-HANDWERK offers numerous opportunities to find out about the latest developments and leading-edge topics. Participants can look forward to established formats and exciting new features in the programme. At the “Young Innovators” pavilion, which is subsidised by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action (BMWK), start-ups will showcase their latest ideas and products. This is where young talent and fresh inspiration take centre stage with a view to enriching the industry in the long term.

Stability and innovation as factors for success

In 2026, HOLZ-HANDWERK will once again exemplify the combination of stability and innovation. As the key platform for products, technology and services, it offers the perfect framework for reinforcing long-term partnerships and tapping into new business opportunities.

HOLZ-HANDWERK, which will enter its 22nd round in 2026, will be jointly organised by the VDMA’s Woodworking Machinery Association and NürnbergMesse GmbH. The co-sponsor of the event is the Bavarian Carpentry Association (FSH).
