WoodEX for Africa 2024: THE GATEWAY INTO AFRICA SINCE 2012

Johannesburg, 4 – 6 June 2024 – WoodEX for Africa 2024, the sub continent's premier timber trade exhibition, has once again solidified its position as the gateway to Africa’s wood and woodworking machinery industry. Showcasing a comprehensive range, from cutting-edge CNC machines to fittings and finishes, laminates and timber boards, MDF, portable sawmills, software, and various other timber and sawmilling products.

Reflecting on the event's success, Mr. Stephan Jooste, Founder, and Show Director, shared, "It's both a privilege and an honour to be part of this pivotal event—the only dedicated business-to-business meeting place remaining for the Wood and Woodworking Machinery industry in South Africa. I would also like to once again extend my heartfelt gratitude to all the local and international visitors whose steadfast support has propelled WoodEX for Africa forward for so many years. Here's to many more years of collaboration and growth."

Exhibitors and visitors from around the globe gathered once again at the Gallagher Convention Centre in Johannesburg, South Africa last year, reaffirming the show's enduring success since its humble beginnings in 2012. Several leading anchor exhibitors have been consistent participants, resulting in numerous signed deals and strengthened relationships.

The overwhelmingly positive feedback received on the day and through our post-show survey attests to the success of the event, with both visitors and exhibitors expressing their intent to participate again in 2024.

Last year also marked the second collaboration with Big 5 Construct South Africa, underscoring a strategic partnership that has proven to be significant and positive. This collaboration sets the right course for growth, providing added value and enhancing the overall experience for both visitors and exhibitors.

By exhibiting at WoodEX for Africa, companies, organizations, and visitors can tap into the growth potential of the African market and connect with key decision-makers, buyers, dealers, and suppliers. Don't miss out on this unique opportunity to expand your business and grow your African footprint.
