Lisderevmash in Kiev

It was held in Kiev, from September 25 to 28, Lisderevmash, exhibition dedicated to technologies for wood processing and furniture supplies which occupied a net exhibition area of ​​about 6 thousand square meters, a decline due in the first instance to the global economic crisis but also to the tensions between organizers. Until last year, in fact, there were two trade fairs biennial that alternated (Lisderevmash organized by Acco International and Woodprocessing owned by Primus Exhibitions). Today Acco International keeps the monopoly and organizes Lisderevmash annually.
The flow of visitors was discreet, in line with the trend in demand for machines that, for some years, maintains a medium-low level but stable. Speaking with some local operators, it was found that the most critical factor is again customer insolvency. Local retailers of machines find many problems with payments and this prevents them from creating a warehouse of considerable size.
The Italian team was represented by a number of local dealers, established on the market for years. Some Italian exhibitors attended the fair directly through the collective organized by Acimall.
