About the Exhibition
The Shanghai International Furniture Machinery & Woodworking Machinery Fair (WMF) is one of Asia's most authoritative and professional woodworking-machinery exhibitions of its kind since 1986. Given the growing demand for innovative technologies across the furniture-manufacturing and woodworking supply chain, WMF has been co-located with CIFF (Shanghai) once a year since 2018 in Hongqiao, Shanghai, serving as a one-stop sourcing platform that connects upstream and downstream enterprises across the whole woodworking industry. Held at the National Exhibition and Convention Center, Shanghai Hongqiao, the fair is expected to gather more than 420 exhibitors from around the world showcasing over 1,000 of the latest machines and equipment across a 53,000 sq m exhibition area.
