HOLZ&BAU Klagenfurt is a premier trade fair specifically tailored for experts in timber construction and associated crafts, attracting professionals from Austria and Central Europe. The event is dedicated to showcasing innovations, technologies, and trends within the timber and construction industries. It serves as a central hub for timber construction masters, prefabricated house producers, roofers, sheet metal workers, and carpenters to engage with the latest industry developments.

This unique event is organized biennially by Klagenfurter Messe Betriebsgesellschaft mbH and typically spans four days from late August to early September. It is often held in conjunction with the 'Internationale Holzmesse' (International Wood Fair), forming a powerful duo that stands as the most important marketplace in Central and Southeast Europe for the entire value chain, from forestry to solid wood.

The fair offers an unparalleled opportunity for networking, experience sharing, and forging new business contacts. Attendees can discover a wide array of products and services, ranging from advanced building techniques and materials to innovative solutions for prefabricated house production. A distinctive feature is its location in a region renowned for its wood industry, enhancing both the professional and personal value of each visit.

The 2026 edition is expected to feature approximately 144 exhibitors specifically for HOLZ&BAU. When combined with the International Wood Fair, the entire event typically draws around 22,000 trade visitors, with a significant portion directly involved in the timber construction sector. This strong attendance underscores the fair's importance as a must-attend event for industry insiders.
