LIGNA celebrates its 50th anniversary - will you be there?

We have reason to celebrate!

In 2025, LIGNA - the world's leading trade fair for the woodworking and wood processing industry - will turn 50!
 
After LIGNA emerged from HANNOVER MESSE in 1975 at the height of the oil crisis, it is impossible to imagine the industry today without it as THE innovation and business platform. Looking back in history, LIGNA is often described as a rock in stormy times and not infrequently as an economic barometer - an important role in the current economically challenging times, which we would also like to fulfill in 2025.
 
Be part of LIGNA from May 26 to 30, 2025 and join us for another successful half century of innovation, business and the unique team spirit of the woodworking community.
 
To bridge the gap until the next LIGNA, you'll find a chronic of the past 50 years of LIGNA on our website.

Please take a look!

Of course, we have a few more anniversary surprises up our sleeve for the weeks and months leading up to LIGNA.

As we all know, a trade fair is nothing without its visitors! We would therefore like to collect your LIGNA stories and publish them on our website and in the socials over the coming weeks and months. Everything you associate with LIGNA is of interest: exciting, funny, surprising and beautiful experiences from everyday life at the trade fair! Send us your pictures, videos and stories! (.doc, .docx, .pdf, .png, .jpeg, .mp4) You can be sure of our attention and that of the entire community. Do you still have questions? We look forward to talking to you!
