Wood Producers Stand Out At IWF
The International Woodworking Fair (IWF) at the Georgia World Congress Center completed four days of tremendous activity on Friday, dominated by 925 exhibits. Machinery on tap was mostly downstream, remanufacturing and secondary processing, with some primary manufacturing technologies and laminate printing mixed in. But perhaps what stood out the most were the impressive exhibits of some of the major wood products producers and their display of multiple product lines.
