Johannesburg, 18 – 20 June 2025 – WoodEX for Africa 2025, Southern Africa’s premier timber trade exhibition, has once again solidified its position as the gateway to Africa’s wood and woodworking machinery industry. The event will showcase an extensive range of products, from cutting-edge CNC machines to fittings and finishes, laminates and timber boards, MDF, portable sawmills, software, and other timber and sawmilling solutions.
Following the success of WoodEX for Africa 2024 — a sold-out event with high visitor numbers and positive feedback from exhibitors — this is an opportunity no industry professional can afford to miss.
Reflecting on the event’s continued growth, Stephan Jooste, Founder and Show Director, stated: “WoodEX for Africa has evolved into a key business platform where industry professionals connect, collaborate, and drive growth. I extend my sincere gratitude to our exhibitors and visitors, both local and international, for their ongoing support. We look forward to another year of innovation, networking, and success.”
Exhibitors and visitors from around the globe gathered once again at the Gallagher Convention Centre in Johannesburg last year, reaffirming the show’s success since its inception in 2012. Several leading exhibitors have been consistent participants, resulting in signed deals and strengthened relationships.
