The French machinery and manufacturing technology association Symop (Syndicat des Machines et Technologies de Production) decided to reschedule ExpoBois, France’s leading wood industry trade fair, from the fall to spring.

The next biennial is now scheduled for March 13-16, 2018, at the Villepinte exhibition center in Paris.

The move was made in light of current turbulences and shifts in today’s French trade fair market and in response to wishes voiced by the show’s exhibitors for a national fair in Paris and a regional event in Lyon, the organizers said.

ExpoBois is a joint production between Symop and Deutsche Messe AG.
