WOOD-TEC 2017 to be held in late October and early November
The next WOOD-TEC International Fair for Wood Processing and Furniture Industry will be held at the Brno Exhibition Centre from 31 October to 3November 2017. WOOD-TEC is a prestigious Central European event in its field and the most important fair for the woodworking and furniture industries in the Czech Republic and Slovakia. This particular Czecho-Slovak concept is a supporting idea of its 2017 edition. The period of the fair was established in cooperation with professional associations that will participate in the preparations for the exhibition and its sideline programme. WOOD-TEC is included in the network of fairs supported by the European Federation of Woodworking Machinery Manufacturers EUMABOIS.
The year 2015 confirmed that WOOD-TEC is a place to get an overview of the market, for purchases and meetings for the Czech and Slovak professionals in wood processing and furniture manufacturing. Their interest was enjoyed by the WOOD-TEC Arena; that is why you will see it as a prime spot for the sideline programme in the year 2017 as well.
