Exhibition Ligna 2027, Hannover

LIGNA is a key platform for the global woodworking community, bringing together innovation, technology, and markets. This year’s exhibition covers the full spectrum of cutting-edge solutions—from material processing and machine engineering to energy production and digital technologies.

The spotlight is on equipment and tools for both custom and mass production, showcasing new standards of efficiency in processing wood, composites, and plastics. Automation takes center stage—drive systems, CNC control technologies, energy-efficient logistics platforms, and high-performance robotics ensure maximum productivity.

Surface technology is represented in its full diversity—sanding, spraying, 3D printing, and other methods shape new aesthetic and functional qualities of wooden products. A dedicated section highlights the production of wood-based panels, covering everything from raw materials to complex manufacturing lines.

LIGNA also places a strong emphasis on sustainability: wood energy technologies are gaining momentum amid global decarbonization efforts. The forestry section draws particular interest—innovations in timber harvesting, mobile sawmills, and new approaches to wood logistics and transportation. Visitors gain a complete perspective on the entire value chain—from forest to finished product.

The exhibition serves as a meeting point for engineers, technologists, entrepreneurs, and developers who are shaping the future of the woodworking industry.
