CHINA - On 4 and 5 December 2018, Deutsche Messe is staging the LIGNA Conference in Guangzhou. Immediately thereafter, the China Shunde International Woodworking Machinery Fair (Lunjiao) will be held in the neighboring city of Foshan.

Digitization, automation, IoT platforms and individual customer requirements are the challenges facing the woodworking industry and processing industry. Top-class international and Chinese speakers such as Liu Yue Qiu, General Manager of Sandar CNC Machinery, John Wang, Chairman of the Supervisory Board, SFY Group or Professor Christian Kortüm from the Technical University of Rosenheim provide a global view of industrial applications and solutions for the furniture and wood industries.

The market leaders Biesse, Durst Phototechnik, Homag Group, Leuco Ledermann, SCM Group, Siempelkamp, Wemhöner Surface Technologies, Michael Weinig and the Technical University of Applied Sciences Rosenheim, will be presenting their expertise in a designated area, supporting the conference. Visions and experiences with digitization, implementation in respective production processes and their effects on the various steps in development, production and sales will be shared. A panel discussion and the gala dinner at the end of the first conference day, will give plenty of room for individual questions and networking.

With the LIGNA Conference in China, the organizers are continuing their conference series, which had its premiere in Hanover in May 2016. The main theme of the LIGNA Conference in China is “Integrated Woodworking - Customized Solutions” and thus takes up one of the focus topics of the upcoming LIGNA, which will take place from 27th to 31th May 2019 in Hanover.
