The international wood industry's premier trade hub
LIGNA Hannover (sometimes referred to as only LIGNA) is where you come to grow your own professional network in the woodworking industry as well as increase your revenue streams.
The international trade fair held its inaugural edition in 1975. In the over 40 years it has been active, it has become the dedicated business platform for professionals to learn about the industry. Sharing experience and knowhow, and meeting with future business collaborators are also among the primary aims of the trade show.
Innovation is one of the key features of LIGNA Hannover and a trade visitor is able to explore the whole processing chain under one roof from forestry technology to wood materials and furniture. The exhibition halls will fill up with sawing machines, forestry tools, sawmill equipment, timber trucks, wood and timber, wood drying, wood fuels, milling machines, furnaces, and solid wood processing.

LIGNA Hannover is located in Hannover, Germany, where editions arrive every two years in the first half of May usually. The international trade fair admits both professional visitors and public members at Messe, Hannover.
The official organisers for the fair are Deutsche Messe AG & VDMA Holzbearbeitungsmaschinen. Working hours start from 09:00 am until 18:00 pm.
Commuters that rely on public transport can utilize the bus system and the light rail system to their advantage and quick arrival. Arriving in a car is also a speedy affair and you’ll find the exhibition centre to have a lot of parking spaces.
LIGNA Hannover maintains a high level of engagement from industry professionals as well as the public, which is one of the great advantages to exhibiting here. You’re not just approaching industry buyers, but receive recognition and attention from the end consumer. This has resulted in a solid turnout of over 1500 international exhibitors and more than 90,000 visitors.

The majority of the audience is professional, and they come from all over – carpentry, energy generation, woodworking, wood construction, prefabricated building industry, furniture industry, sawmill industry and forestry. It’s this diversity that opens you up to new revenue streams. There are more than 100 countries represented in the audience, but the majority (over 50%) are German nationals.
