| World Fair for the Forestry and Wood Industries From 14 to 18 May 2007, the northern German city of Hannover will be hosting the global wood and forestry industry's premier trade fair for new product and technology launches. LIGNA+ HANNOVER is held every two years and is the world's showcase for providers of woodworking machinery, forestry technology, reconstituted wood products and timber-based construction solutions. It is the shop window for the entire wood production chain, spanning everything from the forestry and timber industries to the industrial mass production of finished wood products and innovative surface finishing technologies.
