Wood supply chain at Simexpo
Simexpo − event dedicated to the entire wood supply chain, from technology to finished products – was held in Bucharest, from September 19 to 23 last, on an area of about 10 thousand square meters.
Forestry manufacturing were presented in the outdoors, while the finished furniture were displayed in two pavilions, the third pavilion hosted the semi-finished products (under-represented) and especially technologies for wood processing, the latter exposed almost exclusively from local dealers.
The flow of visitors has not been satisfactory, despite a fairly healthy market. One of the main reasons was certainly the organization of the fair Bife Timb held fifteen days before at the exhibition center Romexpo. Despite all local machines retailers have backed unconditionally the fair Simexpo, from the point of view of visitors, the issue has certainly led to confusion and discomfort. It should be said like the views collected during the event have not been entirely negative, as would be expected from the flow of the operators present.
At the show were proposed technologies for all processes, from primary processing of wood to the surface finishing. The evolution of the market will depend a lot from the political scenario in the medium term: the obstructionismo of President Basescu has blocked much of the funding that the EU has provided the country and found that only 10 percent of the resources were actually allocated to investments of productive activities.
