“Xylexpo is a strategic event for our sector and for the entire Italian industrial system. The dialogue with the Acimall board – particularly with president Enrico Aureli – and the shared vision for the future of the exhibition have strengthened our conviction: the new configuration of the fair, which introduces plastic and composite materials as an integral part of a broader multimaterial approach, perfectly reflects the evolution of the market of a wood industry that is redefining its boundaries, expressing new ideas and opening the door to change for the sector,” added Federico Broccoli.
“Taking part in Xylexpo means not only concretely supporting ‘Made in Italy’, but also backing an exhibition that since 1968 has accompanied the growth of our industry. We are working on a stand and a technological offering that live up to this responsibility”.

“I stand with Xylexpo!”: exhibitor support grows stronger
Preparations continue for Xylexpo, the international biennial dedicated to the wood and furniture manufacturing industry. During a recent event organised by Acimall, Enrico Aureli, president of Acimall and SCM, and Federico Broccoli, vice president of Acimall and Chief Commercial Officer of Biesse, explained why the companies they represent will take part in Xylexpo 2026, scheduled from 9 to 12 June.
“Xylexpo has always represented one of the most important events for the wood technology sector and for the entire manufacturing industry. With Matec – which brings together Xylexpo, Plast and the Composites Future project – the exhibition takes a step forward: it is not simply a new format, but a different way of interpreting the market, placing multimateriality and the evolution of technologies at the centre. It is a forward-looking platform that offers companies an international context for concrete dialogue and development,” said Enrico Aureli. “In this context, the participation of major industrial groups – such as SCM, Biesse and Felder – is essential: their presence not only strengthens the qualitative and international value of the exhibition, but also confirms the role of Xylexpo as a key hub for innovation and business relations in a market that has historically been among the most important.
We are also confident that the event will take place at a particularly favourable moment for technological renewal: tax incentives for investments in capital goods represent a concrete opportunity to support new purchasing decisions and accompany the technological relaunch of Italian companies. We look to this edition with great confidence, convinced that direct contact between operators and visitors and the quality of the participating companies will be key drivers of the event’s success and of the sector’s development in the coming years.”
