Despite the crisis Iwf moves forward

Despite the potential loss of more than one-third of its 2008 exhibitor base, Iwf management – the international woodworking machinery & furniture supply fair-Usa that will be held August 25-28 at the Georgia world congress center in Atlanta – said it is moving forward, with 700 contracted exhibitors committed to the biennial show.
“It’s difficult out there and we understand the challenges everyone is facing as the whole industry looks for ways to move from treading water to heading upstream. The fact is, we have 700 companies that are making a strong statement by deciding to invest their marketing dollars in Iwf 2010 to reach their potential buyers and we will do everything we can to ensure they do”, said Riccardo Azzoni, Iwf 2010 chairman and president of Atlantic machinery corp.
Biesse, Delmac, Stiles Machinery and Weinig are some of the companies that cancelled their Iwf participation.
