The world's leading trade fair for tools, machinery and equipment for woodworking and processing came to a successful end. More than 1,300 exhibitors from 50 countries presented themselves in Hanover, and  MINDA was also there: in hall 27 for the engineered wood products sector and in hall 26 for the wood-based panel industry.

80,000 visitors from 160 countries got informed about numerous new developments during the five days of the fair, also with us on our two booths.

At our booth for engineered wood products, we showed an innovative, wood-saving manufacturing concept in which window and door openings are already created in the CLT billet.

The presentation of our new production control technology FlowMate attracted a lot of interest because it perfectly integrates into the user's software environment,.

The further development of our automatic, horizontal architectural beam press for engineering timber construction also met with a positive response because of eliminating the manual insertion of heavy tie rods and pressure shoes,.

We demonstrated the production of extra-wide beams up to 510 mm using the example of so-called split beams or multi-lamella beams, which are widely spread in North America. There are more and more inquiries from Europe for this product.

The focus on engineered wood products has had a very positive effect. For the first time we presented ourselves with our cooperation partners Obel-P and Howial.

In the sector of solutions for the wood-based panel industry, we convinced interested parties with individual transport solutions in solid construction. Apart from deepening existing contacts, many new contacts were made.

The customer benefits of the innovations were discussed in numerous talks during the show. Therefore, we are in a positive mood about new incoming orders in the follow-up to the show.
