The leading trade fair for the timber sector at Eurexpo.

The EUROBOIS trade fair will take place from 6 to 9 February at Eurexpo Lyon, in the heart of the largest wood-processing region in France. Indeed, one third of the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region is covered in forests, making it the country's second largest forestry area.
This trade fair devoted to timber, wood-processing equipment, construction and furnishing is organised by GL events Exhibitions. It was developed by the Group's Building-Timber-Energy Department.

The fair is a genuine business platform for all national and international professionals, from cabinet-makers and machine manufacturers to wooden-equipment makers and furniture-industry suppliers.
The fair is divided into 5 sections:

- Forestry/wood energy
- Wood materials
- Machines and equipment for 1st stage timber conversion
- Machines and equipment for 2nd stage timber conversion
- Supplies for furniture, fixtures and fittings.

The last section is a new addition, since this is the first time furniture and fittings have had their own dedicated space at the fair. Visitors with diverse profiles - fitters, interior designers, cabinet-makers and even kitchen and bathroom manufacturers - will have the opportunity to discover new products, services and components for the furnishing and outfitting of interior spaces.

Visitors will also be able to attend various events and workshops focusing on information, training and innovation.
An interactive TV studio will be broadcasting interviews and events throughout the fair. The programme also includes the French national qualifying event for the European Young carpenters Competition which will showcase up-and-coming talents, and The Technic Days, which will give professionals the chance to do training courses in various useful areas.

The 2018 EUROBOIS awards will acknowledge the best solutions presented by the manufacturers and exhibitors at the fair in the following categories: innovation, new products and technological developments. From a total of 30 participants, a short-list of 12 products and services have been selected. These include the Felder Group and its product named 'AdvantEdge', Blum and its 'Expando T', and BIESSE for its 'SOPHIA' service. Trade professionals can find all the products and services presented for the awards in the 'Parcours nouveautés' (New products/services) area.
