Taiwan is the fourth-largest exporter of woodworking machinery globally, with a solid and loyal customer base.

WOOD TAIWAN serves as a vital platform to connect with industry professionals, network, and gain valuable insights into the wood industry for Taiwan’s wood processing industry, providing exhibitors with an opportunity to showcase their products and network with industry professionals.

With a strong commitment to sustainability, WOOD TAIWAN exhibitors are demonstrating their dedication to creating a greener future through innovative solutions.

One such exhibitor is Anderson, the largest exhibitor at this year’s WOOD TAIWAN. Anderson’s “Intelligent Board Cutting Production Line” is committed to reducing resource waste while providing efficient, low-error, high-accuracy, and user-friendly management solutions for furniture system cabinet panel manufacturers.

Cheng Kuangs’ breakthrough finger joint machine enables the use of waste materials for regeneration. The process, when combined with laminating machines, produces large pieces of board material, significantly increasing the utilization of wood.

WOOD TAIWAN 2023 will feature top indicator manufacturers like Champ Fond, Innovator, Kuang Yung, Jun Shiau, Technk, OAV, Furnimate, Carpenter, Xiang Jing, Gau Jing, Lih Woei, Siemens, and Homag, showcasing their latest R&D equipment.

This year, WOOD TAIWAN also includes new areas like “Power Tools for Homemade DIY Woodworking,” “Hardware Accessories & Plates,” and “Wood for MOOD,” with exhibitors like Taiwan Craft Research and Development Institute, Looben, Mushulin, Dong Shan Design, and Funwood.

TAITRA and TWMA, the organizers, will be launching various activities during WOOD TAIWAN 2023, such as guided tours, a Timber Construction Sustainability Forum, seminars on smart manufacturing and sustainability, Net Zero Consultation, and Wood Insight DIY.
