LIGNA 2025: Sustainable production as a key topic for the future

LIGNA 2025 faces up to current challenges with a clear commitment to sustainability. Under the guiding theme of "Sustainable Production", leading exhibitors will be presenting their answers to a changing market in Hanover from May 26 to 30. The world's leading trade fair for the woodworking and wood processing industry not only aims to showcase technologies, but also to provide guidance.

Digitalization meets resource-saving solutions

Whether Siemens, LINCK or Fagus-GreCon - many exhibitors at LIGNA 2025 are focusing on the topic of efficiency. With AI-supported quality inspection and edge computing, Siemens will be demonstrating how production processes in woodworking are becoming more intelligent and sustainable. LINCK is focusing on maximum value recovery, even with weak wood, and is emphasizing the importance of transparency and system availability with digital platforms such as myLINCK. Fagus-GreCon relies on smart measurement technology to reduce material consumption and optimize processes.

Technology drivers focus on cost-effectiveness and future-proofing

In addition to ecological aspects, LIGNA is also about economic efficiency. Venjakob, for example, will be demonstrating how automated coating lines can be used to create sustainable surface solutions that simultaneously increase productivity and quality. Personal exchange is a key concern for many exhibitors: in a highly competitive market, new impetus is crucial to keeping manufacturing processes competitive.

50 years of LIGNA - a driving force in turbulent times

On its anniversary, LIGNA not only looks back on a history steeped in tradition, but also looks clearly to the future. In view of global trade conflicts and increasing demands on production and energy efficiency, the trade fair offers an important platform for developing solutions for the future - practical, market-oriented and with international appeal.
