LIGNA 2027 reports over 80 percent of space booked 15 months out

More than a year before LIGNA 2027, Deutsche Messe reported that over 80% of the exhibition space for the woodworking and wood processing fair has already been allocated and that all leading companies in the sector have registered across every exhibition area. Stephanie Wagner, Head of LIGNA at Deutsche Messe, said that fifteen months ahead of the event more than 80% of the space relative to the final total of LIGNA 2025 is booked and two-thirds of exhibitors have already registered, despite a strained global economic climate. LIGNA 2025 closed with 113,318 sqm of net exhibition space and 1,425 exhibitors. Companies already committed include Homag, Weinig, Biesse, SCM, Leitz, Leuco, Dieffenbacher, Siempelkamp, Sennebogen, Liebherr, Barberan, Cefla, Robert Bürkle, Ledinek, Linck, Microtec, Festool, Mafell, Hundegger and Felder. Wagner said the booking status shows exhibitors use the fair as an international platform to demonstrate expertise and global visibility, particularly in a challenging environment.
