Xylexpo 2026 presents the market with a fully renewed format designed to respond to the needs of a rapidly evolving sector. The international biennial of woodworking technologies and components for the furniture industry will take place from June 9 to 12 at the Fiera Milano-Rho exhibition center, reaffirming Milan’s status as a key global hub for the wood and furniture industry.
The 2026 edition aims to strengthen Xylexpo’s international identity and consolidate its role as a leading platform for interaction between Italian companies and foreign market players. Organizers emphasize a dual focus: creating real business opportunities for exhibitors and providing visitors with high-quality technological content, positioning the event as a global competence center for the woodworking and furniture manufacturing industries.
The core exhibition remains focused on woodworking technologies, including machinery, production systems, and integrated solutions for the entire production chain.
Among the key innovations is the launch of Composites Future, a dedicated area focused entirely on composite materials, expanding the traditional scope of the event. The program will also include thematic zones and events dedicated to wooden construction, drying processes, finishing, and tools, combining education with practical demonstrations and professional knowledge exchange.
Hands-on experience and live demonstrations remain a central part of the exhibition, considered essential tools for responding to increasing competition and technological transformation in the sector.
Xylexpo 2026 also emphasizes stronger integration with other industry events, particularly through cooperation with interzum forum italy. These synergies aim to connect the entire value chain from design to furniture manufacturing, offering participants a comprehensive overview of industrial and market dynamics.
The presence of international buyers and support from Italian government incentive programs further strengthen investment prospects, making Milan in June 2026 a key reference point for the future of the woodworking and furniture industries.
