This exhibition has the right profile

HOLZ-HANDWERK is organized by VDMA Holzbearbeitungsmaschinen and NürnbergMesse GmbH. Co-sponsor of HOLZ-HANDWERK is the German association Fachverband Schreinerhandwerk Bayern (FSH Bayern).

The established cooperation between these powerful partners creates a special atmosphere at HOLZ-HANDWERK. It is an important business and sector event and is both a get-together and an opportunity for positioning. Not for nothing is HOLZ-HANDWERK a key platform for sector and people, market and products, image and PR, and contents and knowledge.
