Industry Giants support WMF despite the Epidemic

Under the threat of COVID-19, many exhibitions have been cancelled or postponed in order to fight the epidemic, thus missing the opportunity to communicate with exhibitors in the first half of the year. 

 

Shanghai International Furniture Machinery & Woodworking Machinery Fair (WMF), collocated with CIFF (Shanghai) and scheduled to be held from September 7-10, 2020 at the National Exhibition and Convention Center, Shanghai Hongqiao, China, will continue as planned to lead the industry towards Manufacturing 4.0.

This year, WMF will gather more than 400 woodworking and furniture production equipment manufacturers, and showcase a series of complete manufacturing solutions. Visitors can also visit CIFF (Shanghai) with same badge to experience a series of innovative furniture designs.

The epidemic does not stop the industry from developing further. Many companies have already confirmed their participation at the show.

Mr. Guan Jianhua, chairman of HOMAG, a long-term partner of WMF, said that facing the severe challenges brought by the epidemic, they have not stopped promoting the development of China's home furnishing and woodworking industries. They will launch new equipment and technologies that are more relevant to the needs of the Chinese market in WMF in September.

BIESSE, which also belongs to the furniture production equipment sector, also supports WMF. Their China regional CEO, Piergiorgio Franca, said: "Although the current epidemic situation is not clear and the furniture woodworking industry is also uncertain, we will still work together and hope for a better tomorrow."

In addition to the above-mentioned exhibitors, QCMAC, SANDAR, NANXING, EXCITECH, CHINA FOMA, YALIAN have also confirmed their participation and will share with the audience their latest machines and technologies.

 

One Badge, Two Fairs

WMF and CIFF (Shanghai) is expected to have over 1,300 exhibitors showcasing exhibits such as furniture Products, woodworking machineries and accessories. The cooperation of the two events forms a one-stop sourcing platform connecting upstream and downstream enterprises and stretching across the whole woodworking industry. 

WMF offers more than just an exhibition, there are conferences and business matching service provided on the spot to enrich visitors’ experience. Business matching service connects exhibitors and buyers more effectively.
