Group participations grow more than 20% at the next edition of FIMMA + Maderalia

FIMMA + Maderalia 2026, to be held from 10 to 13 November at Feria Valencia, is recording growth of more than 20% in exhibition space linked to group participations promoted by business and sector associations compared with the previous edition, according to the organisers. New additions include the Lucena wood cluster from Córdoba, driven by the AMALU association, while ASEMAD, the Valencian carpentry association, has already booked around 40% of the surface of the hall where it will be located, again becoming one of the biennial's main activity hubs. Internationally, the show welcomes back AHEC (American Hardwood Export Council), the leading body of the US hardwood industry; the French Timber Association, showcasing French solutions in timber construction; and AIMMP, Portugal's wood and furniture industries association, consolidating the fair as a platform for exports and new markets. AEIM, the Spanish Timber Trade and Industry Association, will again organise exhibition spaces and professional sessions, and Club Madera will have a prominent presence within the new Industrialised Construction Hall. These collective spaces, around which professional meetings, promotional actions and training activities are held, have become genuine hubs of activity and business that reinforce the international dimension of the wood, carpentry and technology biennial.
