Xylon, xylon international, xylon.it: three different stories, one single partnership

Xylon and Xylon International have been able to conquer a leading position among the specializing magazines for wood and the woodworking industry. Published by Cepra (Centro Promozionale Acimall), these magazines have always been an excellent observatory for innovation and trends in the whole woodworking industry, a privileged point of view to analyze raw material wood, processes and finished products, an area where our expertise is second to none.. With an indisputable advantage, i.e. these publications are part of a real “system” creating a connection between the tasks of Acimall – a Confindustria member association – the publishing activity and a big fair event such as Xylexpo – the biennial international exhibition of woodworking technology for the wood and furniture industry held in even years.
The magazines offer an all-round information system providing absolutely excellent tools thanks to staff expertise, attendance at events, research and testing activities and in-depth analysis of markets and their players. A system including also xylon.it, a real “information engine” for the industry.
