European Logging Show Elmia Wood Moves To Biennial Event
Starting in 2025, Elmia Wood will host its trade fair every two years instead of every four. This change is made possible through a new land agreement at Bratteborgs gård, that extends until 2029, with a possibility for extension until 2037.
“We are proud of Elmia Wood as a forestry fair with high quality and an international focus. It is a concept that gathers the entire forest industry in the forest, and we see great potential in letting the fair continue to grow and develop at Bratteborg,” says Johannes Hansson, fair manager for Elmia Wood.
Organizers report seeing an increased interest from exhibitors for 2025 compared to the 2022 event, and therefore expect further growth for upcoming fairs.
“It is fantastic to see the increased interest from our exhibitors, and that planning for 2025 is in full swing. We continue to target visitors in the forestry sector, including professionals, small-scale operators, and family-run forestry businesses. They will undoubtedly have an impressive fair experience in the forest,” Hansson adds.
The current plan is to introduce several new features at the 2025 fair, including:
An improved fair loop, approximately 3.5 km long with a more compact exhibition area and shortcuts for an even better experience.
- Increased focus on machine demonstrations and innovations.
- A brand-new arborist area.
- More updates will be announced later.
Elmia Wood is scheduled for June 5–7, 2025; May 20–22, 2027, and June 7–9, 2029.
