“DISCOVER. EXPERIENCE. DO.“ Under this motto, HOLZ-HANDWERK will once again open its doors to carpenters, joiners and cabinetmakers from 24 to 27 March 2026, as usual co-located with FENSTERBAU FRONTALE.
The registration phase for exhibitors is already underway. Numerous exhibitors from 2024 and previous years are showing their loyalty to the leading European trade fair for machine technology, equipment and supplies for the wood crafts. Important key players will be making their comeback in 2026.
Stefan Dittrich, Director for HOLZ-HANDWERK, is delighted with the strong response: “The foundations have been laid for a successful HOLZ-HANDWERK 2026. We are very pleased with the return and loyalty of our exhibitors. With their innovations and new products, they make a visit to the trade fair a unique experience and actively help shape the industry. It is important and trend-setting that we look to the future together with the community, exchange ideas and network with each other.”
“As VDMA, we are very proud that German and European machine and tool manufacturers have made a clear commitment to participate in the upcoming HOLZ-HANDWERK, adds Dr. Bernhard Dirr, managing director of the VDMA Woodworking Machinery Association.
“We assume that the investments made by the German government’s economic stimulus package will help to significantly improve the framework conditions for 2026.”
An initial overview of the exhibiting companies at HOLZ-HANDWERK 2026 is now available at the website. A strong presence from the machinery, software, power tools and suppliers/fittings sectors is already apparent.
Companies still have the opportunity to register their stand space. An extensive supporting program is also being finalized. The new HOLZ-HANDWERK Arena will be a multifunctional area providing space for get-togethers, presentations, discussion panels and best practices.
“We want to offer the industry a stage with an experiential character,” says Stefan Dittrich. “The HOLZ-HANDWERK Arena will create ideal conditions for presenting forward-looking trends and technologies.”
