HOLZ-HANDWERK in Nuremberg is a leading European trade fair dedicated to machine technology, equipment, and supplies for the wood crafts. It serves as a central meeting point for the woodworking industry, showcasing the latest trends and innovations in the woodworking and wood processing sector.

First held in 1992, HOLZ-HANDWERK has grown significantly, evolving into one of the most important trade fairs for joiners, carpenters, and timber framers. The event consistently takes place every two years, concurrently with FENSTERBAU FRONTALE, the world's leading trade fair for window, door, and facade construction, which broadens the offerings and enhances the visitor experience.

The exhibition features a comprehensive range of products and services, from sawing and grinding machines to woodworking machines, extraction systems, and surface technology. In 2024, the fair saw approximately 330 exhibitors from 23 countries and attracted around 75,000 visitors (combined with FENSTERBAU FRONTALE). Past editions have seen over 500 exhibitors and more than 110,000 trade visitors.

Key highlights often include numerous live demonstrations of innovative products, special exhibitions focusing on industry trends, and platforms for professional development. For the 2026 event, new features like the HOLZ-HANDWERK Arena, a Material-Show, and a 'Zukunftsraum' (Future Room) are planned, alongside the 'Young Innovators' area for startups and the HOLZ-HANDWERK Campus for vocational training. These elements emphasize the fair's role in fostering knowledge exchange, networking, and business development within the European wood industry.
